NASA Hubble Space Telescope finds a MONSTER black hole weighing as much as 20 million Suns

[ad_1] There are several giant objects floating in space. From massive planets to enormous asteroids and more. But they all pale in comparison to the latest NASA find. The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has detected a 'monster' runaway black hole. Amazingly, NASA has also stated that if the black hole was in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. The supermassive black hole also weighs as much as 20 million Suns. The strange part about this discovery is the unusual movement pattern of the black hole and the fact that it is forcing star formations instead of eating them."There's an invisible monster on the loose, barreling through intergalactic space so fast that if it were in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. This super...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 2 April 2023: Hubble Telescope captures Ring Nebula

[ad_1] Stargazers must have noticed an unusual ring-shaped pattern in the sky for so many years and it is called a nebula, which is a cluster of gas and dust in space. Nebulas are often the birthplaces of new stars and planetary systems, as the gravitational attraction between the particles within the nebula causes them to collapse and form into denser regions. Today, NASA has shared a breathtaking image of the famous Ring Nebula (M57) captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. While sharing the photo, NASA explained about the Ring Nebula, "the recent mapping of the expanding nebula's 3-D structure, based in part on this clear Hubble image, indicates that the nebula is a relatively dense, donut-like ring wrapped around the middle of an (American) football-shaped cloud of glowing gas." The ...

Never-seen-before! NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope reveals why Saturn’s atmosphere is heating up

[ad_1] Earth's temperature is soaring mainly because of global warming. But, we cannot say the same for the other planets of our solar system. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has figured out the reason behind the heating up of Saturn's atmosphere. It is because of the planet's own rings. Informing about the same NASA said in a release, "The secret has been hiding in plain view for 40 years. But it took the insight of a veteran astronomer to pull it all together within a year, using observations of Saturn from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and retired Cassini probe, in addition to the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft and the retired International Ultraviolet Explorer mission."It further added, "The discovery: Saturn's vast ring system is heating the giant planet's upper atmosphere. The phenomeno...

NASA’s Hubble Telescope snaps Jupiter’s Great Red Spot

[ad_1] Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has a great Red Spot on it! And the image of the same has been captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Interestingly, the spot is a vast storm, spinning like a cyclone and is also the largest known storm in the solar system. If you compare the size of it with that of Earth, the storm is some 2 times the size of our planet. Informing about the same, Hubble Telescope tweeted, "Jupiter's Great Red Spot, seen in this #HubbleClassic image from 1999, has captivated astronomers for centuries. The spot is a vast storm, spinning like a cyclone. It's the largest known storm in our solar system and almost twice the size of Earth." Notably, the Red Spot is still present in Jupiter's atmosphere, more than 300 years later. "When 17...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 20 February 2023: Hubble snaps Stellar double Star Cluster

[ad_1] NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 20 February 2023: Our universe is illuminated by trillions of stars in the sky. These bright objects are formed in a giant cloud of dust and gas in space, known as a Nebula. After formation, many stars form groups from the same Nebula, forming a Star Cluster. Star clusters can contain as few as ten stars or as many as millions of stars. Sometimes, sky watchers might confuse star clusters in our own Milky Way Galaxy with clusters in other galaxies due to their similar appearance.One of these star clusters is NGC 1850, which makes NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day. It is a 100-million-year-old globular star cluster located 160,000 light-years away in the constellation Dorado. What's unusual about this star cluster is its size and shape is remini...

In a first, NASA’s Hubble Telescope directly measures mass of a lone white dwarf

[ad_1] NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has added one more first in its list. Astronomers using the Hubble Telescope have for the first time directly measured the mass of a single, isolated white dwarf – the surviving core of a burned-out, Sun-like star. Researchers found that the white dwarf is 56 percent the mass of the Sun. This agrees with earlier theoretical predictions of the white dwarf's mass and corroborates current theories of how white dwarfs evolve as the end product of a typical star's evolution. The unique observation yields insights into theories of the structure and composition of white dwarfs, NASA said in a report.Until now, previous white dwarf mass measurements have been gleaned from observing white dwarfs in binary star systems. By watching the motion of two co-orbiti...

Hubble Space Telescope gets up close and personal with our neighbours

[ad_1] By getting to know our neighbours out in space, astronomers can determine what types of stars reside in various nearby galaxies and Hubble Space Telescope is helping map out the local structure of the Universe. Recently NASA has released an image of galaxy LEDA 48062 in the constellation Perseus by the Hubble Space Telescope. In the Image, LEDA 48062 is the faint, sparse, amorphous galaxy on the right side of the image, and it is accompanied by a more sharply defined neighbor on the left, the large, disc-like lenticular galaxy UGC 8603. A smattering of more distant galaxies also litters the background, and a handful of foreground stars are also visible throughout the image. The center of attraction in the image are stars surrounded by four sharp points. These points are call...

NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day 15 January 2023: Hubble Telescope snaps spooky Crab Nebula

[ad_1] NASA’s Astronomy Picture of the Day for 15 January, 2023 is one of a spooky Crab Nebula image captured by the Hubble Telescope. NASA Astronomy picture of the day takes everyone into a fascinatingly different dimension of the cosmos on a daily basis. Today, it took an eerie turn with a an image of a Crab Nebula! “This is the mess that is left when a star explodes. The Crab Nebula, the result of a supernova seen in 1054 AD, is filled with mysterious filaments,” NASA explained about the images. The filaments in the image are not only tremendously complex, but appear to have less mass than expelled in the original supernova and a higher speed than expected from a free explosion.This image has been captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, while the surprising fact is that the Crab...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope says Happy Holidays, releases festive sonification of RS Puppis

[ad_1] NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has released an image RS Puppis and it is the perfect personification of a festive occasion. Check details here. We have just celebrated Christmas and people are all ready for the celebration of the New Year too. Stars too are in a mood to celebrate, it seems, as is evident from the light show they are putting up. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has shared a festive RS Puppos image that is simply amazing. This is a glittering star wreathed with dust. As per the details, this star is located about 6500 light-years away.Informing about the same, the Hubble Space Telescope tweeted, "#HappyHolidays from Hubble! Here's a festive sonification of RS Puppis, a glittering star wreathed with dust. Located about 6500 light-years away, this star rhythmically bri...

Breathtaking! After James Webb Telescope, Hubble Telescope snaps the Carina Nebula

[ad_1] NASA has shared a breathtaking image of sparkling stars in the Carina Nebula taken by the Hubble Telescopes just a few days after James Webb Telescope. Just a few days after snapping a mesmerising image of the “cosmic cliffs” of the Carina Nebula that was taken by the James Webb Space Telescope and shared by NASA, another breathtaking view of the Nebula has been captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is actually one of the Hubble Telescope's most-imaged objects. The image looks quite sparkling, highlighting the Carina Nebula. It is a dynamic area of the sky with bursts of star formation occurring alongside star deaths.The Carina Nebula, NGC 3372, is a humongous cloud of gas and dust with bright and humongous stars. At least a dozen of these stars are 50 to 100 times the mas...
