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 ...

NASA’s Hubble Telescope snaps weather changes on Jupiter and Uranus

[ad_1] Since the launch of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope way back in 1990, it has been actively tracing the evolution and formation of galaxies, black holes, dark matter, and much more. Apart from these, the Hubble Telescope has been an active interplanetary weather observer for the gaseous outer planets. Now, Hubble has now recorded a stunning observation about the giant planet Jupiter.Since the inauguration of the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) Program of the telescope in 2014, it has provided us with fascinating ever-changing views of the giant planets. Through the program, Hubble has observed that Jupiter's weather is predominantly stormy at low northern latitudes, displaying a distinct sequence of alternating storms that create a "vortex street" in astronomical terms.

Jellyfish galaxy clicked in space! NASA’s Hubble Telescope shares image

[ad_1] From galaxies, Sun, planets, to asteroids, meteors, and more, space is virtually infinite. These objects are of different sizes and shapes. Have you heard of a jellyfish galaxy? Yes, it exists! A jellyfish galaxy with trailing tentacles of stars hanging in inky blackness has been clicked by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Sharing the image of the same Hubble tweeted, "This image shows a "jellyfish" galaxy called JO201. As jellyfish galaxies move through space, gas is slowly stripped away – forming trails that look like tendrils illuminated by clumps of star formation!"Hubble's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) captured this galactic seascape. "A versatile instrument that captures images at ultraviolet, infrared, and visible wavelengths, WFC3 is the source of some of Hubble's most specta...

Celestial wings to stellar CORPSE! NASA’s Hubble Telescope captures Butterfly Nebula

[ad_1] NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of the Butterfly Nebula which shows layers of gas being ejected from a star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel. According to a tweet by Hubble, eventually this nebula will fade and leave behind a stellar corpse known as a white dwarf. "This structure may look like a cosmic butterfly unfurling its celestial wings, but there's nothing gentle or delicate about this massive blowout. In Caldwell 69, also cataloged as NGC 6302 and commonly known as the Butterfly or Bug Nebula, layers of gas are being ejected from a Sun-like star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel," NASA informed.The research organisation further informed that the medium-mass stars grow unstable as they run out of fuel, which leads to the dramatic expulsion of material ...

WOW! NASA Hubble Space Telescope spots RARE triple galaxy collision

[ad_1] The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a sensational image. The latest image taken by the in-space telescope showcases three different galaxies which are headed for a collision. While such collisions are common, this one is rare, as each of the trio is currently in the midst of producing new stars. As they combine to form a single large galaxy, the spiral structure of each will be destroyed by gravitational interactions between the three. This extremely rare triple galaxy collision is taking place in the Bootes constellation.This Hubble Space Telescope image is part of a project which is investigating the origins of the largest galaxies in the universe. Astronomers call such galaxies Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs). They are created either when a large galaxy consumes sm...

Magnificent! NASA’s Hubble Telescope captures crash of 3 galaxies

[ad_1] Amazingly, over time, galaxies continue to interact and merge. The scale 8s humongous. Sometimes, when galaxies approach each other closely, they merge and form a single, larger galaxy through the process of merging. This remarkable view of a rare occurrence - the impending collision of not two, but three galaxies - has been captured by the Hubble Telescope. “Three galaxies stand together just right of centre. They are close enough that they appear to be merging into one. Their shapes are distorted, with strands of gas and dust running between them. Each is emitting a lot of light,” ESA explained about the image. These merging galaxies are located in the Bootes constellation. These three galaxies are set to merge and as they do, they will blend together into a larger,...

Hubble Space Telescope snaps spectacular image of Orion Nebula

[ad_1] NASA's Hubble Space Telescope snapped an amazing image of Orion Nebula with the help of two of its special instruments. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has been in orbit since 1990. It has been in service for more than 32 years and since then it has delivered some spectacular views of space, star formations, nebulae, galaxies, exoplanets, and much more. The latest breathtaking image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a stunning view of the bright variable star V 372 Orionis. It also captured a smaller companion star in the upper left of this image. Both of these stars are located in the Orion Nebula, a massive star forming region that is roughly 1450 light-years away from Earth.Data from two Hubble instruments are superimposed on this image. Rich details of this region ...

Astonishing! Butterfly Nebula got WINGS! NASA reveals secret

[ad_1] The new study by NASA revealed the secret behind the Butterfly Nebula wings. Notably, most nebulae have circular shapes, but this one is different. NASA has shocked and awed the public with astonishing images take of objects found in deep space. Whether these images were of stars, planets, Sun, galaxies, asteroids, comets and other celestial objects, they have been simply breathtaking. Now, NASA has shared an astonishing image of a unique Nebula known as NGC 6302, which looks like the wings of a Butterfly. Yes, you read that right. Most of the nebulae have a roughly circular shape, but only a few have an hourglass or wing-like shape which is known as a "Butterfly Nebula." But what gave this Butterfly Nebula wings? NASA reveals secret behind the awesome phenomenon. How Butter...

Hubble finds hungry black hole twisting captured star into donut shape

[ad_1] Black holes are gatherers, not hunters. They lie in wait until a hapless star wanders by. When the star gets close enough, the black hole's gravitational grasp violently rips it apart and sloppily devours its gasses while belching out intense radiation. Black holes are gatherers, not hunters. They lie in wait until a hapless star wanders by. When the star gets close enough, the black hole's gravitational grasp violently rips it apart and sloppily devours its gasses while belching out intense radiation. Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have recorded a star's final moments in detail as it gets gobbled up by a black hole. These are termed 'tidal disruption events'. But the wording belies the complex, raw violence of a black hole encounter. There is a balance be...

Wow! Hubble Telescope does it again, captures stunning globular star cluster

[ad_1] Hubble Telescope continues to impress despite the new kid in town, James Webb Space Telescope. Now, NASA's old Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning globular cluster of stars. Although the brand-new James Webb Space Telescope has recently captured some incredible images of celestial events, the Hubble Space Telescope has once again proved that it even though it may be old, it is still capable of capturing breathtaking images. Hubble Telescope has just captured a mesmerizing image of a scattered cluster of colourful stars. The image was released by NASA on their website, which co-manages the Hubble Space Telescope along with the European Space Agency (ESA).The Hubble Telescope has yet another feather in its cap by capturing a galactic globular cluster that resides in ou...
