To celebrate 25 years since the completion of the International Gemini Observatory, students in Chile voted for the Gemini South telescope to image the...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have released a beautiful new image of part of N159, a massive star-forming cloud located about 160,000...
Using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope with data from ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), two team of astronomers have captured a mid-infrared...
During a spectroscopic study of stars in the massive young globular cluster NGC 1866 in a Milky Way satellite galaxy called the Large Magellanic Cloud,...
At the end of their main-sequence life span, stars similar in mass to our Sun will undergo a period of evolution. This stellar evolution is predicted to...
Using the Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured a new image of the Red Spider Nebula,...
Astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope (GBT) have created the large-scale maps of carbon monoxide (CO)-dark molecular gas for the star-forming complex...
Down here on Earth we don’t usually notice, but the Sun is frequently ejecting huge masses of plasma into space. These are called coronal mass ejections...
The binary stellar system TOI-2267 likely harbors two warm Earth-sized exoplanets and an additional Earth-sized candidate, according to a new paper published...
This streamer of gas is channeling matter from the surrounding cloud of a star-forming region in Perseus directly onto a newborn binary star system called...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have obtained a new image of the nearly face-on spiral galaxy NGC 3370.
This Hubble image shows NGC...
Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) have detected doubly deuterated water (D2O), or ‘heavy water,’ in the protoplanetary...
![The image shows NGC 1866 superimposed with a false color image from the MUSE data cube, where the ionized shell of the planetary nebula Ka LMC 1 is seen as a red ring. The grayscale insets illustrate the different size of the ionized shells of singly ionized nitrogen [N II] and doubly ionized oxygen [O III]. The magnified Hubble image near the center of the ring reveals the presence of a pale blue star -- most probably the hot central star of Ka LMC 1. Image credit: AIP / M.M. Roth / NASA / ESA / Hubble.](https://cdn.sci.news/images/2025/11/image_14348-Ka-LMC-1-195x110.jpg)
