[ad_1] NASA has confirmed a new danger for Earth! Astronomers have discovered this new danger from data collected from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. The study, which reports this threat, reveals that during a specific phase, powerful X-rays from exploding stars can affect planets situated over 100 light-years away. The implications of this finding for the study of exoplanets and their habitability are significant.The study is based on the X-ray observations of 31 supernovae and their aftermath, with data gathered mainly from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, Swift, and NuSTAR missions, as well as ESA's XMM-Newton. The research shows that planets located as far as about 160 light-years away can be exposed to lethal doses of radiation. What has caused this threat?...

[ad_1] NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has teamed up with the Chandra X-ray Observatory to show an astonishing view of the Tarantula Nebula. Last year, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope snapped the Tarantula Nebula, also called 30 Doradus, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small neighbouring galaxy to the Milky Way Galaxy. It has long been studied by astronomers to better understand how stars like the Sun are born and evolve. Now, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and James Webb Telescope have teamed up to reveal an astonishing view of the Tarantula Nebula. The new composite image combines X-ray data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and infrared images from the James Webb Space Telescope to show a stellar view of the Nebula."The X-rays (royal blue and purple) reveal gas that...
