NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope spies awesome star cluster just 10 mn years old

[ad_1] NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a beautiful image of an open star cluster named NGC 1858 that is just around 10 million years old. Two of the most prominent telescopes run by NASA, the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope, keep on clicking stunning images of stars, planets, and more that are out there in space. Recently the Hubble Space Telescope has clicked a beautiful image of an around 10-million-year-old open star cluster named NGC 1858. The cluster is a part of a satellite galaxy of our Milky Way and shows an abundance of star-forming regions. The image was shared by NASA on its Instagram account and by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center on its Twitter account.Taking to Instagram, NASA wrote in the caption, "An open star cluster northwest p...

670-million light years away! NASA Hubble Space Telescope snaps stunning galaxy merger

[ad_1] NASA has shared a stunning image of merging galaxies captured by the Hubble Telescope. NASA's old faithful flying observatory, the Hubble Space Telescope never lets a chance go abegging when it comes to surprising everyone with its uncomonly rare and exciting discoveries. Yet again, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has shared a breathtaking glimpse of a rare merger of two galaxies taken by the Hubble Telescope. Thanks to the amazing capabilities of the more than 30-year old Hubble Telescope, which witnessed this unusual phenomenon the world has got the chance to grab a glimpse of a rare galaxy out there in space. NASA revealed that the stunning photo depicts the Galaxy merger Arp-Madore 417-391.While sharing details about this Galaxy merger, NASA says, “...

WOW! NASA Hubble Space Telescope captures 11-bn-year old supernova explosion

[ad_1] In an amazing achievement, NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured a massive supernova explosion, which may be among the first ever in Universe. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope did something extraordinary! It captured light from a star that exploded over 11 billion years ago not just as one postcard from the remote past but as three phases from the star's explosion to fading away over a period of one week. However, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured the three different moments in a far-off supernova explosion in a single snapshot. This explosion dates back to the time when the universe was even less than a fifth of its current age, which is 13.8 billion years."It is quite rare that a supernova can be detected at a very early stage, because that stage is really short. It only l...

Final module docks at China’s Tiangong space station

[ad_1] The final module of China's Tiangong space station successfully docked with the core structure on Tuesday, state media said -- a key step in its completion by year's end and a landmark moment in the country's space ambitions.Tiangong is one of the crown jewels in Beijing's well-funded programme -- which has landed robotic rovers on Mars and the Moon, and made the country only the third to put humans in orbit -- as it looks to catch up with major spacefaring powers like the United States and Russia. China has been excluded from the International Space Station (ISS) since 2011, when Washington banned NASA from engaging with Beijing. Tiangong's completion would signal "China is now an equal player in space with the United States, Russia and Europe", analyst Chen Lan told AFP."In te...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope finds spiraling stars, set to reveal secrets of early universe

[ad_1] NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has found spiraling stars whose observations can help reveal secrets of the early universe. Very little is known about the early universe. Many secrets have remained hidden from human observation despite the Herculean effort of space agencies. As continuous research and observations are being made by the scientists and researchers, more exciting things are popping up. And now with the help of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have observed stars spiralling into the centre of a huge stellar nursery named NGC 346. It is being said that these observations will help unveil more clues about our early universe. Sounds exciting right?"Nature likes spirals – from the whirlpool of a hurric...
