NASA discovers first gamma-ray eclipses from Spider star systems

[ad_1] Data from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been used to discover the first gamma-ray eclipses from a special type of binary star system. Check details here. Every one is aware of the Solar and Lunar eclipses, but there is something called gamma-ray eclipses too. Data from NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has been used by scientists to discover the first gamma-ray eclipses from a special type of binary star system. These so-called spider systems contain a pulsar – the superdense, rapidly rotating remains of a star that exploded in a supernova – that slowly erodes its companion, NASA informed."An international team of scientists scoured over a decade of Fermi observations to find seven spiders that undergo these eclipses, which occur when the low-mass companion st...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope snaps the astonishing NGC 346 star birthing region

[ad_1] Here is what NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has snapped- NGC 346 star birthing region. Star formation is not only a mysterious process, but also an awe-inspiring occurrence. And now, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has taken an image of the star forming region called NGC 346. The mission is to know more about the star formation process in the early universe. Notably, NGC 346 is one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies and it is full of secrets. However, this James Webb Telescope image has made it less mysterious."What was star formation like in the early universe? One way to study conditions in the distant past is to find parallels close by. That's why Webb took a look at star-forming region NGC 346 within our neighboring dwarf galaxy: https://go.nas...

NASA James Webb Telescope reveals amazing space secret that eluded Hubble Telescope

[ad_1] NASA’s James Webb Telescope has managed to capture first-of-its-kind galaxies with stellar bars. It has thereby revealed an astonishing space secret. NASA's latest and most expensive James Webb Space Telescope is outdoing the Hubble Space Telescope in every way. That was expected, since the tech on Hubble Telescope is decades old. In the latest development, the images from the James Webb Telescope reveals galaxies with stellar bars—elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer disks for the first time. The study says that these galaxies are from the time when universe was just 25 percent of its present age. This means that there were Milky Way Galaxy-type galaxies even as far back in time as that. A space secret that even Hubble was not ab...

NASA NEO Surveyor mission: Telescope to find near-Earth asteroids confirmed

[ad_1] NASA has officially confirmed the NEO Surveyor mission. The mission will accelerate NASA's ability to find near-Earth asteroids. NASA is all set to accelerate its ability to find near-Earth asteroids (NEO). The research organisation has officially confirmed the NEO Surveyor mission. NASA Asteroid Watch informed about the same via a tweet saying, "UPDATE: @NASA's NEO Surveyor mission, an infrared space telescope designed to accelerate our ability to find near-Earth asteroids, has officially been confirmed as a NASA mission! NEO Surveyor is being developed by @NASAJPL & led by @UArizonaLPL. "Agency officials have completed a rigorous technical and programmatic review, known as Key Decision Point C (KDP-C), and confirmed NASA's Near-Earth Object Surveyor space telescope (NE...

This bizarre object is FASTER than light? What did NASA Hubble Space Telescope catch?

[ad_1] NASA Hubble Space Telescope thought it spotted something that should not exist, which was travelling at a mind-altering rate 7 times faster than light! On Earth, we have created some really fast objects. For instance, the speed of a bullet out of a gun can be as high as 4,200 kilometers per hour, which is three times the speed of sound. But it is not even the fastest thing. The fastest man-made object would be the NASA Parker Solar Probe spacecraft which reached a speed of 535,000 kilometers per hour using the Sun's gravity! Now, that is fast. But you would be surprised to know that it is just 0.05% of the speed of light (300,000 kilometers per second). So, you can imagine just how fast light really is. And till now, it was surmised that nothing can travel faster than light. Bu...

Iconic ‘Pillars of Creation’ captured in new James Webb Space Telescope image

[ad_1] The twinkling of thousands of stars illuminates the telescope's first shot of the gold, copper and brown columns… The James Webb Space Telescope captured the iconic "Pillars of Creation," huge structures of gas and dust teeming with stars, NASA said Wednesday, and the image is as majestic as one could hope. The twinkling of thousands of stars illuminates the telescope's first shot of the gigantic gold, copper and brown columns standing in the midst of the cosmos. At the ends of several pillars are bright red, lava-like spots. "These are ejections from stars that are still forming," only a few hundred thousand years old, NASA said in a statement. These "young stars periodically shoot out supersonic jets that collide with clouds of material, like these thick pillars," the ...

Final flight! NASA telescope captures STUNNING objects in the cosmos

[ad_1] The biggest flying telescope in the world, NASA’s SOFIA has shared some breathtaking images. Have a look here. The world's largest airborne telescope Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA), which is operated by NASA, embarked on its final flight on September 29, 2022. Marking the end of an era, NASA shared a small breathtaking collection of the cosmic imagery assembled during the last voyage of the SOFIA telescope. NASA took to its Instagram handle to share that since 2010, the SOFIA has flown 921 flights, gathering valuable data on the cosmos.The space agency explained that the first shared image is of the galaxy Centaurus A, which has a core column made up of orange and dark red dust lanes and a lig...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope captures mysterious explosion

[ad_1] NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a mysterious explosion and now it has been revealed it is a newborn star located over 9,000 light-years away. The Hubble Space Telescope never fails to astonish us. The telescope has once again left us mesmerised with a mysterious image that it took. It turned out to be a bright newborn star enveloped by a veil of dense gas and dust. 'IRAS 05506+2414,' the young star captured by the Hubble Telescope, is located almost 9000 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. The image was shot by using Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) of the telescope. This young object is believed to be an example of a violent explosion caused by the disruption of a massive young star system. As report...

[ad_1] Nasa James Webb Space telescope has captured a never before seen image of the Orion Nebula. The tech marvel that it is, the James Webb Space telescope has yet again left people astonished with a stunning view of the vibrant Orion Nebula. The telescope has captured Orion's heart by using the NIRCam instrument giving us an even more detailed look at the nebula's heart. The detailed image of the stellar nursery blasted by ultraviolet light from massive young stars shows the heating of intense radiation and star formation. This ultraviolet irradiated zone, known as a photodissociation region (PDR) is located within the constellation Orion and is about 1,350 light-years away from Earth.This area of the nebula is a dense c...
