Hubble’s Spectacular view of NGC 2210 in the Large Magellanic Cloud

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

Hubble Space Telescope finds the answer to why Uranus and Neptune are different shades of blue

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
