Although the galaxy appears featureless and boring at first glance, the Hubble Space Telescope’s observational data of elliptical galaxy Messier 105 shows that the stars inside its galactic center are moving very swiftly. Astronomers suggest that these stars are orbiting around a supermassive black hole with a mass estimated to be 200 million suns. The […]

This Hubble image shows a massive cluster of shiny bright galaxies identified as galaxy cluster Abell 3192. This galaxy Cluster is filled with hot gas that produces powerful X-rays, and it’s covered in a halo of dark matter. All of the unseen material thus the amount of galaxies seen in this image makes the galaxy

This image shows a tightly packed globular cluster called NGC 2210, which is located about 160,000 light-years away within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The Large Magellanic Cloud and Milky Way are gravitationally attached. Globular Clusters are a stable, tightly attached group of stars that contain thousands to millions of old stars. Globular clusters are

The Hubble Space Telescope captures this inspiring image of a massive galaxy cluster named Abell 1351 with its Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Survey. Abell 1531 is located more than 4 billion light-years away and lies within the northern constellation, Ursa Major. The image is filled with light streaks that are actual

By using data from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, Gemini North Telescope, and the Infrared Telescope Facility, astronomers created an atmospheric model that not only matches the observations of the ice giants but also reveals that Uranus has excess haze builds up in its stagnant, sluggish atmosphere, and gives it a lighter blue than Neptune. Neptune
