Hubble Space Telescope Sees Needle’s Eye Galaxy
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a striking photo of a section of the spiral galaxy NGC 247. This Hubble image shows NGC 247, a spiral galaxy some 11.5 million light-years from Earth in the constellation of Cetus. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / H. Feng, Tsinghua University / G.…
Hubble Space Telescope Focuses on NGC 1097
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a finely detailed image of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097. This Hubble image shows NGC 1097, a barred spiral galaxy some 48 million light-years away in the constellation of Fornax. The color image is made up of observations from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera…
Hubble telescope captures spectacular laser-like jet from infant star (photo)
Home News Science & Astronomy A jet erupts from a young star in the object HH34 in this Hubble Space Telescope image unveiled on March 7, 2022. (Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, B. Nisini)The Hubble Space Telescope captured a laser-like jet that represents a "tantrum" being thrown by an infant star.The outburst came from a…
Hubble sees an outburst from an infant star
NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captured an energetic outburst from an infant star. The star is extremely young and in the earliest phase of formation. The outburst- an incandescent gas jet- is traveling at supersonic speeds. The collision of the jet with material surrounding the star generates shock heat that causes the outburst to glow. The…
Hubble Completes Successful IDO With Over $1.2 Million Worth of Distributed HBB Tokens
Hubble Protocol, A Solana-powered DeFi protocol, has successfully ended its Initial DEX Offering (IDO) with 10,000 whitelisted users participating in the IDO and contributed over $1.2 million.The token launch was hosted on three different platforms at the same time.Hubble Nails Its IDOTo join the crowdfunding event, whitelisted participants would need to meet each platform’s criteria.…
Hubble Maps Dark Side of Tidally-Locked Ultrahot Jupiter
Using data collected by the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) infrared spectrograph onboard the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have obtained a detailed view of the dark side of WASP-121b, an ultrahot gas-giant exoplanet nearly twice the size of Jupiter. An artist’s impression of WASP-121b. Image credit: Engine House VFX. Discovered in 2016 by astronomers…
A new Hubble image shows an unusual triangular-shaped star-birthing frenzy fueled by a spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies. The duo of colliding galaxies is Arp 143, which contains two interacting galaxies: spiral galaxy NGC 2445 at right and NGC 2444 at left. NGC 2445 is a star-forming spiral galaxy, where thousands of stars are…
Hubble captures epic view of three galaxies merging into one
This week’s image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows no less than three galaxies that are in the process of merging to become one, called IC 2431. Located 681 million light-years away in the constellation of Cancer, this object shows what can happen when galaxies collide and merge into each other. The enormous gravitational forces…

Schmidt The mass of dust and bright swirls of stars in this image are the distant galaxy merger IC 2431, which lies 681 million…
Hubble captures a cosmic interaction
NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope snaps an image of an interacting galaxy pair in the Arp 282 system. The system is located almost 319 million light-years away in the constellation of Andromeda. The galaxy pair includes a large spiral galaxy NGC 169 (bottom) and IC 1559 (top). Both galaxies have energetic, active galactic nuclei (AGN). However,…
