The Hubble Space Telescope has shown that dark matter is concentrated in the core of a nearby dwarf galaxy, a discovery that comes to the aid of the Standard Model of Earth. cosmology. This model basically predicts that dark matter is “cold,” but recent findings seem to indicate that the substance is “warm.” However, these … Read more
Most known black holes are either extremely massive, such as the supermassive black holes found in the centers of large galaxies, or relatively light, with masses less than 100 times that of the Sun. Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), however, are rare and are considered rare “missing links” in black hole evolution. Now, an international team … Read more
Science and discovery 10/07/2024 1028 views 11 I like this An international team of astronomers has used more than 500 images from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope spanning two decades to detect seven fast-moving stars in the inner region of Omega Centauri, the largest and brightest globular cluster in the sky. These stars provide compelling … Read more
TOKYO — A bipartisan NASA bill would formally authorize several ongoing programs and direct the agency to provide reports on topics ranging from the use of the Space Launch System to maintenance of the Hubble Space Telescope. The House Committee on Science leadership released the NASA Reauthorization Act of 2024 on July 9, one day … Read more
The rate at which the universe is expanding is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy. However, new research suggests that this may not be the case at the edges of black holes. Rather than suggesting that dark energy does not act at the boundaries of black holes, this … Read more

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a breathtaking image of NGC 4951, a spiral galaxy located about 49 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. This image, which shows the galaxy in remarkable detail, provides valuable insights into the processes of star formation and the energy dynamics within galaxies. Hubble’s high-resolution image provides a … Read more
This image is a mosaic of visible light and infrared views of the same frame from the Pillars of Creation visualization. The three-dimensional model of the pillars created for the visualization sequence is displayed alternately in the Hubble Space Telescope version (visible light) and the Webb Space Telescope version (infrared light).

The gleaming towers of cosmic dust and gas at the heart of the Eagle Nebula have inspired awe for decades since they were first captured by the Hubble Telescope. Now NASA issued the most detailed visualization of the iconic celestial structure, revealing all its dreamlike features across multiple wavelengths of light. Webb telescope visualizes the … Read more
