Hubble glimpses globular cluster NGC 6544
The teeming stars of the globular cluster NGC 6544 glisten in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. This cluster of tightly bound stars lies more than 8,000 light-years away from Earth and is, like all globular clusters, a densely popu.....»»
A strategy of ligand-protected direct hydrogen reduction to prepare bimetallic cluster catalysts
Researchers have developed a ligand-protected direct hydrogen reduction strategy to prepare zeolite-confined Pt-Pd bimetallic cluster catalysts. These catalysts efficiently facilitate hydrogen production from ammonia borane (AB) solvolysis and the ta.....»»

Hubble captures barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672
This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features NGC 1672, a barred spiral galaxy located 49 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Dorado. This galaxy is a multi-talented light show, showing off an impressive array of different celes.....»»
Hubble and Webb are the dream team—don"t break them up, researchers say
Many people think of the James Webb Space Telescope as a sort of Hubble 2. They understand that the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has served us well but is now old and overdue for replacement. NASA seems to agree, as they have not sent a maintenance m.....»»
The first 3D view of the formation and evolution of globular clusters
A study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics marks a significant milestone in our understanding of the formation and dynamical evolution of multiple stellar populations in globular clusters (spherical and very compact stellar agglomerates typically.....»»
Globular cluster Gran 5 hosts two stellar populations, study finds
Using the Gemini-South telescope, astronomers have performed high-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy of stars in a Galactic globular cluster known as Gran 5. They found that this cluster harbors two stellar populations with different metallicities.....»»

Hubble and Webb probe surprisingly smooth disk around Vega
In the 1997 movie "Contact," adapted from Carl Sagan's 1985 novel, the lead character scientist Ellie Arroway (played by actor Jodi Foster) takes a space-alien-built wormhole ride to the star Vega. She emerges inside a snowstorm of debris encircling.....»»

Webb and Hubble examine spooky galaxy pair
Stare deeply at these galaxies. They appear as if blood is pumping through the top of a flesh-free face. The long, ghastly "stare" of their searing eye-like cores shines out into the supreme cosmic darkness......»»
Astronomers investigate the properties of open cluster NGC 2506
Astronomers from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and Harvard–Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) have inspected a Galactic open cluster known as NGC 2506 as part of the WIYN Open Cluster Study. Results of the study, published October 14.....»»
New extended and faint tidal tail discovered
By analyzing the data from the Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey (DECaLS), astronomers have discovered a new tidal tail likely associated with the galaxy NGC 3785. The newly detected tidal tail is extremely extended and faint. The finding was reported.....»»
