James Webb Space Telescope snaps NGC 346 that is ‘furiously forming stars’

[ad_1] The new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope is all about solving the mysteries of NGC346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in near our Milky Way Galaxy, says ESA. The universe is full of mysteries. Some are horrifying and some are awesome. To find out what is going on in outer space, NASA and ESA have deployed a number of telescopes and the newest one is the James Webb Space Telescope. Its biggest job is to look back in time to find out about the origin of our universe. The new findings from the James Webb Space Telescope is all about solving the mysteries of NGC346, which is one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies. However, the new findings by Webb have made NGC346 a bit less mysterious. NCG 346 is located in the Small Magellan...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope uncovers star formation in cluster’s dusty ribbons

[ad_1] NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, is full of mystery. Now, it is less mysterious with new findings from the NASA James Webb Space Telescope. NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, is full of mystery. Now, it is less mysterious with new findings from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. NCG 346 is located in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy close to our Milky Way. The SMC contains lower concentrations of elements heavier than hydrogen or helium, which astronomers call metals, compared to the Milky Way. Since dust grains in Space are composed mostly of metals, scientists expected there would be low amounts of dust, and that it would be hard to detect. New data from Webb reveals the opposit...

NASA James Webb Telescope reveals amazing space secret that eluded Hubble Telescope

[ad_1] NASA’s James Webb Telescope has managed to capture first-of-its-kind galaxies with stellar bars. It has thereby revealed an astonishing space secret. NASA's latest and most expensive James Webb Space Telescope is outdoing the Hubble Space Telescope in every way. That was expected, since the tech on Hubble Telescope is decades old. In the latest development, the images from the James Webb Telescope reveals galaxies with stellar bars—elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks for the first time. The study says that these galaxies are from the time when universe was just 25 percent of its present age. This means that there were Milky Way Galaxy-type galaxies even as far back in time as that. A space secret that even Hubble was not ab...

Closest black hole to Earth spotted by astronomers

[ad_1] Closest known black hole to Earth is just 1600 light-years away. Astronomers have discovered the closest known black hole to Earth, just 1,600 light-years away. Scientists reported Friday that this black hole is 10 times more massive than our sun. And it's three times closer than the previous record-holder. It was identified by observing the motion of its companion star, which orbits the black hole at about the same distance as Earth orbits the sun. The black hole was initially identified using the European Space Agency's Gaia spacecraft, said Kareem El-Badry of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. El-Badry and his team followed up with the International Gemini Observatory in Hawaii to confirm their findings, which were published in Monthly Notices of the Ro...

These 5 COOL free websites can do the Unthinkable! Check this list NOW

[ad_1] These 5 free websites can do everything from using an AI to solve complex equations, creating bots that can automate tasks, show you walking tours of cities and much more. Check the list. Gone are the days when websites were simple static backgrounds with walls of text, pictures and videos that you could look up. In the age of artificial intelligence and machine learning, they can do a ton of cool and useful things. And some of it is quite honestly unimaginable. Just imagine taking a walking tour of any city in the world without leaving your couch and seeing the world from the eyes of someone who is actually there. Or to automate any browser based tasks without needing to learn coding. Or even solving big mathematical problems with the help of AI. If you want to know what the i...

Behind the Amazing Photo of the Milky Way Galaxy’s Very Own Black Hole

[ad_1] Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, has fascinated cosmologists for years. Now we’ve got pics. One reason scientists are so fascinated with black holes is that they grab hold of the fabric of time and space, slowing time to a crawl as matter swirls toward a point of no return. The fact that black holes play tricks with time was what captured the imagination of Lia Medeiros, a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study, and part of the team that used an array of eight telescopes to create the first image of matter swirling around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. She was still a high school student when she first read that black holes distort...

Death of a star! Awesome tech helps NASA wind back the clock from 160,000 light years away

[ad_1] Astronomers have narrowed the timeline of a distant star's explosive demise with the help of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. Have you heard of stars exploding? Yes, the stars in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies do explode and astronomers have even seen the debris from scores of exploded stars. However, it is very difficult to determine or find out the timeline of the star's demise. But now NASA has informed that by studying the spectacular remains of a supernova in a neighboring galaxy using NASA telescopes, a team of astronomers has found enough clues to help wind back the clock. "By combining data from @ChandraXray, @NASAHubble, and the retired Spitzer Space Telescope astronomers have n...
