NASA space telescope to study ultraviolet light set for launch; know all about this mission

[ad_1] US space agency NASA has been exploring space and beyond for decades and helping it do that have been quite a few telescopes, satellites and spacecraft up in the sky including the venerable Hubble Space Telescope and the new James Webb Space Telescope, both of which have shed fascinating light on the matter going as far back as almost to the beginning of time - the Big Bang itself. The space agency has contributed to amazing discoveries with its missions over the years. However, space is vast and made up of amazingly complicated structures. That calls for the deployment of more instruments. And now, yet another NASA space telescope is set for launch.NASA is preparing for a future mission to explore the ultraviolet light in the universe. NASA is reported to be developing UVEX (Ult...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Unveils Cosmic Ballet: Dance of Dual Protostars

[ad_1] NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled a captivating image of the Herbig Haro object 797 (HH 797), a luminous region enveloping newborn stars, or protostars. These objects form as stellar winds or jets of gas ejected from protostars generate shockwaves upon colliding with surrounding gas and dust at high speeds. HH 797, prominent in the lower half of the image, is situated near the young open star cluster IC 348, positioned close to the eastern edge of the Perseus dark cloud complex.Captured by Webb Space Telescope's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam), the image showcases intricate details of the protostar and its outflows. Infrared imaging proves instrumental in studying newborn stars as it penetrates the obscuring gas and dust, making Herbig-Haro objects ideal subjects for W...

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on it may resemble something ancient, but Hubble Space Telescope keeps giving, year in and year out even though it has been replaced by its extremely young heir, the James Webb Space Telescope.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....

In a first, IXPE telescope has revealed Supernova secrets, says NASA

[ad_1] Supernova's have been some of the most spectacular space events ever to happen in the Universe. They are massive in nature and even more amazing in terms of their gigantic nature. Now, in a groundbreaking discovery, NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) telescope has unveiled the mysteries shrouding the historic supernova remnant, SN 1006. The telescope's first-of-its-kind polarized X-ray images have illuminated the enigmatic connection between magnetic fields and the flow of high-energy particles from exploding stars.Dr. Ping Zhou, an astrophysicist at Nanjing University in Jiangsu, China, and the lead author of a paper recently published in The Astrophysical Journal, expressed his excitement about the findings. He stated, “Magnetic fields are extremely difficult to m...

Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope: NASA set to solve many secrets of the Universe

[ad_1] The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, set to launch around May 2027, will provide a groundbreaking view of the Milky Way Galaxy. This NASA mission aims to monitor hundreds of millions of stars in search of subtle flickers that indicate the presence of celestial objects, including exoplanets, distant stars, icy objects in our solar system, black holes, and more.Roman's capabilities are essential for advancing the field of time-domain astronomy, which focuses on studying how the universe evolves over time. The telescope's Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey will focus on the Milky Way Galaxy, utilizing its infrared vision to peer through dust clouds that obstruct our view of the galaxy's central region. Roman's unique capabilities make it a valuable discovery machine with its vast f...

240-foot asteroid to come close to Earth tomorrow; size and speed revealed by NASA

[ad_1] NASA tracks all asteroids that stray close to the Earth because they could pose a potential danger. Apart from that, information about the origin of various asteroids can solve multiple mysteries about the universe. Recently NASA has successfully brought back a chunk of asteroid Bennu from space with the help of ORISIS- REX spacecraft. This asteroid sample is a huge achievement in the field of space exploration. Now, NASA is on its next asteroid mission called Psyche. According to NASA, this mission will study this metallic asteroid. The asteroid orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. As explained by NASA, the Psyche asteroid has a nickel-iron core that was essential in creating our solar system. One of the mission's main objectives is to get as close as 280 kilometers to Aster...

46-foot asteroid heading towards Earth today, says NASA; Check out this space rock called RD15

[ad_1] Asteroids are a small, but inseparable part of our solar system, but they possess a massive potential for destruction. Therefore, NASA is on a continuous mission to track asteroids and study them in order to take preventive measures in case the threat is serious. NASA actively monitors asteroids to safeguard Earth and enhance our understanding of their paths as they hold many secrets. When NASA's telescopes detect a new Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA), the agency's astronomers gather observational data and share it with the Minor Planet Center. Subsequently, the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) utilizes this information to compute the asteroid's probable orbit around the Sun. To monitor asteroids, NASA astronomers have developed a next-generation impact monitoring algorithm...

Dark energy hunter, Euclid Space Telescope’s first images have scientists over the moon!

[ad_1] The development of the Euclid Space Telescope took years of research and collaboration across the globe to develop an instrument that can study dark energy. Euclid is a European mission, built and operated by European Space Agency, with contributions from the US space agency NASA. Recently, the first trial of Euclid Telescope was taken, in which it captured beautiful images that mark its capabilities of accomplishing the main objective of its development. With the trial run, scientists are confident about the telescope and its instruments. “After more than 11 years of designing and developing Euclid, it's exhilarating and enormously emotional to see these first images. It's even more incredible when we think that we see just a few galaxies here, produced with minimum system tuni...

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 ...
