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...

European Space Agency to launch two missions on Elon Musk’s SpaceX rockets

[ad_1] The European Space Agency announced Thursday it will use SpaceX's Falcon 9 rockets to launch two scientific missions because of delays to its own Ariane 6 rocket and the cancellation of flights on Russia's Soyuz launchers. The ESA's Euclid space telescope had been planned to launch next year on a Soyuz rocket, but in February Russia pulled out in response to European sanctions over Moscow's war in Ukraine. Euclid, which aims to better understand the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter, will now instead catch a ride into space on the Falcon 9 rocket of billionaire Elon Musk's US company SpaceX. The ESA's Hera mission, which will probe the Didymos asteroid that NASA successfully knocked off course in September by smashing the DART spacecraft into it, will launch on a F...

Nasa James Webb Space Telescope shows Jupiter’s auroras, tiny moons

[ad_1] The world's newest and biggest space telescope is showing Jupiter as never before, auroras and all. Scientists released the shots Monday of the solar system's biggest planet. The James Webb Space Telescope took the photos in July, capturing unprecedented views of Jupiter's northern and southern lights, and swirling polar haze. Jupiter's Great Red Spot, a storm big enough to swallow Earth, stands out brightly alongside countless smaller storms. One wide-field picture is particularly dramatic, showing the faint rings around the planet, as well as two tiny moons against a glittering background of galaxies. “We've never seen Jupiter like this. It's all quite incredible,” said planetary astronomer Imke de Pater, of the University of California, Berkeley, wh...
