Space news weekly recap: James Webb Space Telescope, SpaceX explosion and more

In the last week, NASA pulled back the curtains on a photo gallery that flags off the next era of space exploration: the first images from the James Webb Telescope. The advanced Webb Telescope gave us some of the most detailed views of the farthest cosmic objects in the galaxy. But that was not the […]

Hubble captures a galactic gem: Image of a beautiful galaxy merger

Sometimes, in the depths of space, entire galaxies can merge and collide with each other, throwing out dust and debris that will lead to the creation of new stars. NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured such an event: the CGCG 396-2 galaxy merger, which is an uncommon multi-armed galaxy merger that is 520 million light-years […]

Hubble captures stunning image of globular cluster with thousands of stars

NASA has released a picture of a “globular cluster” that contains thousands of glittering stars. The Hubble Space Telescope used its Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys to capture this image of the globular cluster NGC 6569 in the Sagitarrius constellation. Globular clusters are stable and tightly bound clusters that contain tens […]

Hubble Space Telescope detects mass of isolated black hole in Milky Way

For the first time ever, the NASA/ESA (European Space Agency) Hubble Space Telescope has provided direct evidence for a lone black hole drifting through space by precise mass measurements of the phantom object. Until now, measurements of black holes have been inferred statistically or through interactions with binary systems or the core of galaxies. This […]

Hubble space telescope captures two star-forming spiral galaxies

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of two spiral galaxies, which are collectively known as Arp 303. Individually, they are called IC 563 (bottom) and IC 564 (top) are more than 275 million light-years away in the direction of the constellation Sextans. The image used data from two separate Hubble observations of Arp 303. […]
