NASA's Hubble Telescope has once again captivated space enthusiasts with a stunning image showcasing the "last gasp" of a dying binary star system known as NGC 2346. This system, classified as a "planetary nebula," emerges from Sun-like stars that are approaching the final stages of their life cycles.What NASA says about NGC 2346The image, shared by NASA on Instagram offers a mesmerizing glimpse into NGC 2346, located about 2,000 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros. Planetary nebulae like this are formed when…

Despite decades of service and the launch of the latest James Webb Space Telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope has not stopped surprising scientists with its cosmic revelations. Recently, NASA's Hubble Telescope shared an image of lenticular galaxy NGC 5283. It contains an active galactic nucleus (AGN), which is an extremely bright region at the heart of a galaxy where a supermassive black hole exists. As matter falls into a black hole, it produces a release of energy that emits light throughout the electromagnetic…

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope was launched and deployed by the space shuttle Discovery back in 1990. Surprisingly, NASA says that Hubble Telescope was designed to last roughly 15 years but it is still active and unravelling mysteries of space, galaxies, black holes, nebulae, and more. Now, the Hubble Telescope has captured the bizarre Galaxy JO204, which looks like a 'jellyfish'.This is actually called as a ‘jellyfish galaxy' which gets its name due to the bright tendrils of gas that appear in this image. Hubble observed…

A nebula is a massive cloud composed mainly of hydrogen and helium gas along with dust. Nebulae can originate from the debris ejected by a dying star, like a supernova, or from areas where new stars are taking shape, earning the name "star nurseries." While the dust and gases in a nebula are widely dispersed, gravity can still cause them to come together to form larger clumps. As these clumps increase in size, their gravitational force also becomes more potent.There are several types of nebulae. However, on a wider…

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…

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day is that of a grand spiral galaxy. It is Messier 100 (M100), which is a large galaxy of over 100 billion stars with well-defined spiral arms that is similar to our own Milky Way Galaxy. The detailed image is captured by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope with the Wide Field Camera 3 and accentuates bright blue star clusters and intricate winding dust lanes which are hallmarks of this class of galaxies while revealing individual stars within the galaxy's prominent spiral arms. NASA says that…

Stargazers must have noticed an unusual ring-shaped pattern in the sky for so many years and it is called a nebula, which is a cluster of gas and dust in space. Nebulas are often the birthplaces of new stars and planetary systems, as the gravitational attraction between the particles within the nebula causes them to collapse and form into denser regions. Today, NASA has shared a breathtaking image of the famous Ring Nebula (M57) captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. While sharing the photo, NASA explained about the…

Hubble, NASA's space telescope, has been tracking the development and history of various galaxies, black holes, dark matter, and more since its deployment in 1990. The Hubble Telescope has also been monitoring the interplanetary weather of the gaseous planets beyond our solar system. Today, Hubble has captured an incredible discovery about Jupiter and Uranus. The telescope's Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) Program has been providing us with interesting, ever-evolving pictures of the large planets since…
