Hubble discovers over 1,000 new asteroids thanks to photobombing
Astronomers have used 19 years' worth of Hubble data to detect over 1,000 previously unknown asteroids in our solar system......»»
Hubble goes hunting for elusive medium-sized black holes
There's something odd about the black holes discovered to date. We've found hardly any black holes in the intermediate mass range, and it's not clear why......»»
Astronomers want to build the next-generation Arecibo telescope
The Arecibo Telescope was an amazing tool for astronomers. Built in the early 1960s, it had a 1,000-foot-wide dish and was capable of both receiving and transmitting radio signals. It did radar mapping of near-Earth asteroids, Venus, and the moon, di.....»»
Astronomers want your help hunting for asteroids
Anyone can become an asteroid hunter thanks to a new program launched by astronomers at the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory. As part of the Catalina Sky Survey, the scientists created an online portal that opens their mission—t.....»»
Astronomers claim to have solved mystery of the runaway supermassive black hole
A mysterious trail of stars formed eight thousand million years ago and recently discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope has been a challenge to a number of research groups. Its size is similar to that of the Milky Way, and this very long narrow str.....»»
OneLayer Bridge discovers, assesses, and secures IoT device activity
OneLayer released OneLayer Bridge, a security solution for private mobile networks. The use of private cellular networks allows organizations to improve IoT and OT device connectivity. As the adoption of these networks increases, organizations must c.....»»

Hubble spots energetic galaxy NGC 547
This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image reveals NGC 547, an elliptical galaxy that sits about 250 million light-years away from Earth in the constellation Cetus. NGC 547 shines just below the center of this image, with its companion galaxy NGC 545 nea.....»»
Hubble captures extraordinarily bright interacting galaxies AM 1214-255
This new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope shows interacting galaxies known as AM 1214-255. These galaxies contain active galactic nuclei, or AGNs. An AGN is an extraordinarily luminous central region of a galaxy. Its extreme brightness is cau.....»»
Pressure required to launch a rock from Mars into space much lower than thought, discovers study
In August 1865, a 10-pound rock fell from space to Earth, landing with a bang in the remote village of Sherghati, India. After being recovered by witnesses to the event, the stone passed into the possession of a local British magistrate who endeavore.....»»
Study using X-Ray telescope indicates that dark energy is uniformly distributed in space and time
When Edwin Hubble observed distant galaxies in the 1920s, he made the groundbreaking discovery that the universe is expanding. It was not until 1998, however, that scientists observing Type Ia supernovae further discovered that the universe is not ju.....»»
Hubble observes lenticular galaxy NGC 3489
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured this image of the lenticular galaxy NGC 3489. Lenticular galaxies aren't quite spiral galaxies or elliptical galaxies. They lie somewhere in between, exhibiting traits of both. Lenticular galaxies have a central.....»»
Hubble captures galaxy cluster ACO S520
A menagerie of interesting astronomical finds are visible in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. In addition to several large elliptical galaxies, a ring-shaped galaxy is lurking on the right of the image. A pair of bright stars are.....»»
Like viewing in FM vs. AM: New black hole image reveals “fluffier” ring

Here"s how NASA is planning to protect Earth from asteroids and comets
The large impact craters dotting our planet are powerful reminders that asteroids and comets strike the Earth from time to time. As often said, it's not a question of "if"; it's a matter of "when" our planet will face an impending strike from space......»»
Hubble spotlights barred spiral galaxy UGC 678
The barred spiral galaxy UGC 678 takes center stage in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The spectacular galaxy lies around 260 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Pisces and is almost face on, allowing its lazily w.....»»
Astronomers explore multiple stellar populations in Messier 92
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), astronomers from the University of Padua, Italy, and elsewhere have observed a metal-poor globular cluster known as Messier 92. The observations deliver crucial informa.....»»
