Globular clusters are ancient groups of hundreds of thousands or even millions of stars, gravitationally bound into a single structure about 100-200 light-years...
These threads of red snaking amidst dark, turbulent clouds make up a cosmic object known as SNR 0454-67.2. This tangled web is actually the remnants from...
Globular clusters are densely packed, spherical collections of several hundred thousand stars. They are among the oldest known objects in the Universe...
Two teams of astronomers have finally found the long-sought progenitor star to a Type Ic supernova by sifting through Hubble archival data.

Like a fly that wanders into a flashlight’s beam, a protoplanetary disk surrounding the young star HBC 672 is casting a giant shadow, nicknamed the ‘Bat...
SDSS J0915+3826, a giant group of galaxies located approximately 4 billion light-years away, is so massive that its gravity bends light like a lens, making...
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new photo of a stunning and slightly eerie nebula called IC 63.
IC 63 is classified as both a reflection...
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a vivid image of the unbarred spiral galaxy NGC 5033.
