NASA Hubble Space Telescope

NASA's iconic space telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope, is currently undergoing a temporary pause in its scientific operations. According to NASA, this temporary pause occurred due to a gyroscope issue that forced NASA to trigger the safe mode on November 23. NASA is now working to get the Hubble Space Telescope to resume its operations. Notably, the Hubble Telescope has been working for decades, but the technology is very old now and there is a danger that it may go offline permanently. The telescope has passed its…

The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has made several discoveries about distant galaxies, supermassive black holes, and the presence of mysterious dark matter in deep space. The capabilities of NASA's space telescope are simply amazing and now the space agency has shared an awe-inspiring image of Evil Eye Galaxy which is located 17 million light-years away from Earth. Know more about the distant galaxy here and check what NASA scientists have discovered.NASA's Hubble Space Telescope findings on evil eye galaxyNASA has shared…

Over the past few months, we've seen several amazing images of celestial objects as part of NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day, which is published on a daily basis featuring astrophotographers from around the world. Some of these include snapshots of fascinating celestial objects documented by Charles Messier. The French astronomer studied and catalogued these objects in Catalogue des Nébuleuses et des Amas d'Étoiles and the catalogue is today known as the Messier Objects which contains 110 objects.Today's NASA Astronomy…

American space agency, NASA Hubble Telescope captured the Great Red Spot on the largest planet in the solar system, Jupiter. Interestingly, the spot is a vast storm, spinning like a cyclone. The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is the largest known storm in the solar system.  Informing about the same, Hubble Telescope tweeted, "Jupiter's Great Red Spot, seen in this #Hubble Classic image from 1999, has captivated astronomers for centuries. The spot is a vast storm, spinning like a cyclone. It's the largest known…

Space sometimes gives us unique and interesting events in time to watch with the help of telescopes like the iconic Hubble Space Telescope, or the newly launched James Webb Space Telescope, and more. NASA on its Instagram account has shared an amazing glimpse clicked by the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope has recently celebrated its 33rd launch anniversary, and after a week of the same the telescope has captured a mesmerizing image of neighbouring galaxies.Sharing the image on Instagram, the space…

Globular clusters are stable, tightly bound groups of tens of thousands to millions of stars that are associated with all types of galaxies. According to NASA, it is possible that globular star clusters once ruled the Milky Way. Back in the old days, back when our Galaxy first formed, perhaps thousands of globular clusters roamed our Galaxy. Today, there are less than 200 left.Today's NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day is the globular star cluster NGC 2419. It is a multi-generational star cluster located about 300,000…

The supermassive monster is tearing across the void, smashing through gas clouds in its path. This event presumably resulted from a strange game of cosmic billiards. Because of the tremendous pressures at work, this gas is being shaped into a path of brand new stars, which has been photographed by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. Instead of consuming stars in its path like some kind of cosmic Pac-Man, the fast black hole is smashing into gas in front of it, causing star formation within a rather narrow…

A huge black hole is tearing through space, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars, space scientists say.The supermassive monster -- likely born of a bizarre game of intergalactic billiards -- is rampaging through the blackness and plowing into gas clouds in its path. The incredible forces at play mean this gas is being forged into a contrail of new stars, which have been captured on camera by NASA's powerful Hubble Space Telescope. "We think we're seeing a wake behind the black hole where the…

A supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a 2,00,000-light-year-long condensed trail of newborn stars, twice the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, in its wake, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US.Captured accidentally by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole was seen racing through the intergalactic space so fast that, within our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. "We think we're seeing a wake behind the…

There are several giant objects floating in space. From massive planets to enormous asteroids and more. But they all pale in comparison to the latest NASA find. The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has detected a 'monster' runaway black hole. Amazingly, NASA has also stated that if the black hole was in our solar system, it could travel from Earth to the Moon in 14 minutes. The supermassive black hole also weighs as much as 20 million Suns. The strange part about this discovery is the unusual movement pattern of the black…
