A new possible explanation for the Hubble tension
The universe is expanding. How fast it does so is described by the so-called Hubble-Lemaitre constant. But there is a dispute about how big this constant actually is: Different measurement methods provide contradictory values......»»
Hubble spots a galaxy shrouded by stars
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a densely packed field of stars laid upon a background of dust, gas, and light from more distant celestial objects. There are so many stars in this image's field of view that it may be a little tricky.....»»
Hubble spies baby stars being born amid chaos of interacting galaxies
Amid swirling gas and dust pulled by gravitational forces of interacting galaxies, there can be bursts of star formation, creating new generations of stars......»»
Hubble detects celestial "string of pearls" star clusters in galaxy collisions
When spectacular cosmic events such as galaxy collisions occur, it sets off a reaction to form new stars, and possibly new planets that otherwise would not have formed. The gravitational pull that forces the collisions between these galaxies creates.....»»
Simulations provide potential explanation for mysterious gap in size distribution of super-Earths
Ordinarily, planets in evolved planetary systems, such as the solar system, follow stable orbits around their central star. However, many indications suggest that some planets might depart from their birthplaces during their early evolution by migrat.....»»
Hubble traces "string of pearls" star clusters in galaxy collisions
Contrary to what you might think, galaxy collisions do not destroy stars. In fact, the rough-and-tumble dynamics trigger new generations of stars and presumably accompanying planets......»»
Hubble captures a suspected galaxy encounter
UGC 3912 is classified as a spiral galaxy, but you wouldn't know it from this detailed NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. UGC 3912's distorted shape is typically indicative of a gravitational encounter with another galaxy. When galaxies interact—ei.....»»
Hubble observes galaxy NGC 5427
The galaxy NGC 5427 shines in this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image. It's part of the galaxy pair Arp 271, and its companion NGC 5426 is located below this galaxy and outside of this image's frame. However, the effects of the pair's gravitationa.....»»
The 60 best space photos of all time from Nasa, Hubble, and more
From distant galaxies to stunning portraits of planets close to home, there's nothing like an image of space to blow your mind. Here are 60 of our favorites......»»
Hubble views NGC 3384, a galaxy settling into old age
NGC 3384, visible in this image, has many of the characteristic features of so-called elliptical galaxies. Such galaxies glow diffusely, are rounded in shape, display few visible features, and rarely show signs of recent star formation. Instead, they.....»»
Image: Hubble captures Arp 295
One of the galaxies from a galactic group known as Arp 295 is visible in this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image, along with part of the faint 250,000-light-year-long bridge of stars and gas that stretches between two of the galaxies. The galaxies.....»»
Small exoplanet could be hot and steamy according to Hubble
Hubble recently identified water vapor in the atmosphere of a small, hot exoplanet......»»
Image: Hubble spies side-by-side galaxies
A barred spiral galaxy and a lenticular galaxy come together to create this interacting pair known as Arp 140. The lenticular galaxy, NGC 274, is visible on the right side of this new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image, and the barred spiral, NGC 275,.....»»
Hear the otherworldly sounds of interacting galaxies with this Hubble sonification
Hubble scientists have created a sonification of interacting galaxy pair Arp 140, translating the colors and brightness of the image into sound......»»
Image: Hubble glimpses bright galaxy group LEDA 60847
This new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image shows a group of interacting galaxies known as LEDA 60847......»»
Hubble observes an askew galaxy coaxing star formation from its partner
Arp 300 consists of two interacting galaxies, UGC 05028 (the smaller face-on spiral galaxy) and UGC 05029 (the larger face-on spiral). Likely due to its gravitational dance with its larger partner, UGC 05028 has an asymmetric, irregular structure, wh.....»»
MagSafe Monday: The Anker 313 Wireless Charging Stand simplifies your daily desk charging with Standby support
I’ve tried countless desk charging solutions over the years, and I’ve always struggled with the off-and-on process with MagSafe. As much as I love MagSafe, there is a tension (pun intended) with quick removals when leaving your desk for errands,.....»»
Hubble captures an exceptionally luminous supernova site
This week's image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows the aftermath of an epic explosion in space, caused by the death of a massive star......»»
Black hole, neutron star or something new? We discovered an object that defies explanation
Sometimes astronomers come across objects in the sky that we can't easily explain. In our new research, published in Science, we report such a discovery, which is likely to spark discussion and speculation......»»
Image: Hubble views a galactic supernova site
This image features a relatively small galaxy known as UGC 5189A, which is located about 150 million light-years away in the constellation Leo. This galaxy was observed by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope to study a supernova explosion in 2010 kno.....»»
Theoretical research offers explanation as to why some animals shrink over time
The mystery behind why Alaskan horses, cryptodiran turtles and island lizards shrank over time may have been solved in a new study......»»
