Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have observed clumps of star formation in the tails and disks of six ram-pressure stripped (jellyfish)...
Earth has a hot core that heats the surrounding mantle, which carries that heat up to the planet’s lithosphere. The heat is then lost to space, cooling...
According to observations and cosmological simulations, dwarf galaxies are the most abundant type of galaxies in the early Universe and the galaxy merger...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have observed six candidate galaxies with stellar masses as high as 1011 solar masses about...
Astronomers using NASA’s Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) telescope at Mauna Kea Observatory have captured and analyzed visible and near-infrared reflectance...
SPT-CL J0019-2026, a huge cluster of galaxies located 4.6 billion light-years away in the constellation of Cetus, has so much mass that it acts as a gravitational...
Webb observations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon emission provide some of the deepest and highest resolution views of the cold interstellar medium...
Webb astronomers estimate 50,000 near-infrared sources are represented in the new image of the huge galaxy megacluster Abell 2744.
This Webb image shows...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have produced an outstanding image of a trio of merging galaxies called SDSSCGB 10189.
This Hubble...
Saturn is known for its iconic, pristine rings. However, the main B ring can have splotches and streaks of darker or lighter material, known as spokes,...
When ocean-bearing moons begin to cool down, their oceans can freeze. As new ice accretes to the bottom of the existing ice shell, the added volume of...
The newly-discovered asteroid is less than 230 m (755 feet) across, and orbits within the main asteroid belt, which is located between Mars and Jupiter.
An...
A new image taken with NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows Donatiello II, a recently-discovered dwarf galaxy associated with the nearby spiral galaxy...
In November 2019, the nearby single, isolated white dwarf LAWD 37 aligned closely with a distant background source and caused a so-called microlensing...
LEDA 2046648 is accompanied by a profusion of smaller, more distant galaxies which range from fully-fledged spirals to mere bright smudges.
This Webb image...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have captured the reflectance spectrum of the double-ringed centaur 10199 Chariklo and observed...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured a spectacular image of a very turbulent part of the Tarantula Nebula.
This new Hubble...
