Latest Hubble Space Telescope glitch forces NASA to switch on safe mode, pause research

[ad_1] NASA's iconic space telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, is currently undergoing a temporary pause in its scientific operations. According to NASA, this temporary pause occurred due to a gyroscope issue that forced NASA to trigger the safe mode on November 23. NASA is now working to get the Hubble Space Telescope to resume its operations. Notably, the Hubble Telescope has been working for decades, but the technology is very old now and there is a danger that it may go offline permanently. The telescope has passed its actual use-by date years ago.Hubble Space Telescope on pauseNASA has been working to resume science operations Hubble Space Telescope after it entered safe mode on November 23 due to an ongoing gyroscope issue.

Hubble Space Telescope snaps special Jupiter image; NASA releases stunning photo

[ad_1] It may be quite old and the technology on it may resemble something ancient, but Hubble Space Telescope keeps giving, year in and year out even though it has been replaced by its extremely young heir, the James Webb Space Telescope. And now, the never-say-die-spirit of the Hubble Telescope has generated another awesome gift for humanity - a stupendous image of Jupiter. The ultraviolet-observing capabilities of this telescope have now allowed astronomers to study the short, high-energy wavelengths of light that we humans can not see with our naked eyes. This image of Jupiter has been released by NASA.Ultraviolet view of JupiterThe recent image of Jupiter released by NASA has been captured a color composite of ultraviolet wavelengths in a color composite of Ultraviolet wavelengths....

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope snaps a cosmic leviathan

[ad_1] It is always mesmerizing to see how the Hubble Space Telescope manages to capture fascinating images of space and galaxies that are millions and billions of light years away. Space agencies with such strong instruments can discover so many mysteries that are beyond our general comprehension and understanding. Yet again, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has snapped an image of a massive cosmic leviathan - the Abell 3322 galaxy cluster. Along with the cluster, the telescope was also able to feature galaxy 2MASX J05101744-4519179 in the same image.About Abell 3322According to a NASA report, the cosmic cluster named Abell 3322 was captured by ESA/ Hubble and NASA. The cluster is reported to be 2.6 billion light-years from Earth in the constellation Pictor. In the image, we can see soo m...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 15 June 2023: M15 Globular Star Cluster snapped by Hubble

[ad_1] Over the past few months, we've seen several amazing images of celestial objects as part of NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day, which is published on a daily basis featuring astrophotographers from around the world. Some of these include snapshots of fascinating celestial objects documented by Charles Messier. The French astronomer studied and catalogued these objects in Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles and the catalogue is today known as the Messier Objects which contains 110 objects. Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is a breathtaking snapshot of M15, a globular star cluster that is located about 33600 light-years away towards the constellation of Pegasus. According to NASA, Messier 15 is one of the densest ever discovered, with hot blue stars and cooler or...

2 galaxies TWINNING! NASA Hubble Space Telescope snaps unique moment in time

[ad_1] Space sometimes gives us unique and interesting events in time to watch with the help of telescopes like the iconic Hubble Space Telescope, or the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope, and more. NASA on its Instagram account has shared an amazing glimpse clicked by the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope has recently celebrated its 33rd launch anniversary, and after a week of the same the telescope has captured a mesmerizing image of neighbouring galaxies.Sharing the image on Instagram, the space agency captioned it by writing, "Look at those two buddies. Just hanging out. Doing their thing." Giving further details about the image, NASA added, "This starry pair offers a glimpse of what our Milky Way galaxy would look like to an outside observer.

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 13 April 2023: Globular Star Cluster NGC 2419

[ad_1] Globular clusters are stable, tightly bound groups of tens of thousands to millions of stars that are associated with all types of galaxies. According to NASA, it is possible that globular star clusters once ruled the Milky Way. Back in the old days, back when our Galaxy first formed, perhaps thousands of globular clusters roamed our Galaxy. Today, there are less than 200 left.Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is the globular star cluster NGC 2419. It is a multi-generational star cluster located about 300,000 light-years away towards the constellation of Lynx. According to NASA, the stars populating globular clusters are very similar because they formed at roughly the same time and because of this, they tend to display similar properties. Tech which helped capture the ima...

Runaway black hole creating trail of new stars: scientists

[ad_1] A huge black hole is tearing through space, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars, space scientists say.The supermassive monster -- likely born of a bizarre game of intergalactic billiards -- is rampaging through the blackness and plowing into gas clouds in its path. The incredible forces at play mean this gas is being forged into a contrail of new stars, which have been captured on camera by NASA's powerful Hubble Space Telescope. "We think we're seeing a wake behind the black hole where the gas cools and is able to form stars," said Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University."What we're seeing is the aftermath. Like the wake behind a ship, we're seeing the wake behind the black hole."Researchers believe gas is probably being blasted and warmed by the motion ...

Accidental capture of Hubble shows runaway supermassive black hole

[ad_1] A supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a 2,00,000-light-year-long condensed trail of newborn stars, twice the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, in its wake, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US.Captured accidentally by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole was seen racing through the intergalactic space so fast that, within our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. "We think we're seeing a wake behind the black hole where the gas cools and is able to form stars. So, we're looking at star formation trailing the black hole," said Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, US. "What we're seeing is the aftermath. Like the wake behind a ship, we're ...
