After yesterday’s sneak peek of things to come, a host of new images from NASA’s James Webb Telescope are pouring in. The largest of them reveals “never-before-seen” details of a galaxy group known as Stephan’s Quintet.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, … Continue reading Largest James Webb image sheds new light on Stephan’s Quintet galaxy group
Astronomers have discovered bizarre “blue blobs” in space. These blobs are clusters of young, blue stars that are isolated from any parent galaxy, suggesting they formed from a galactic “belly flop.”Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Stars, … Continue reading Bizarre blue blobs in space may be born from galactic “belly flops”
The most comprehensive picture of the Milky Way galaxy just got even more detailed, as ESA’s Gaia mission has unveiled its third data release. The new dataset updates information on almost two billion stars, including their makeup and movements, as wel… Continue reading Gaia maps two billion Milky Way objects in unprecedented detail
NASA has released a huge new report that astronomers are calling Hubble’s magnum opus. Analyzing 30 years of data from the famous space telescope, the new study makes the most precise measurement yet of how fast the universe is expanding.Continue Readi… Continue reading Hubble’s “magnum opus”: most precise measurement of universe’s expansion

The 25 winning shots of this year’s Milky Way Photographer of the Year have now… Continue reading Our majestic Milky Way stars in annual astrophotography competition
Astronomers have discovered what may be the brightest pulsar in the sky. Despite its intense light the pulsar has long evaded detection, and was only revealed thanks to a telescope equipped with some cosmic “sunglasses.”Continue ReadingCategory: Space,… Continue reading Telescope “sunglasses” reveal brightest extragalactic pulsar ever found
Astronomers have discovered the most distant object ever seen – a strange galaxy some 13.5 billion light-years away. Known as HD1, the galaxy may house a never-before-seen population of stars, or a supermassive black hole mysteriously ahead of its time… Continue reading Most distant object ever seen is a mysteriously bright, ancient galaxy
Astronomers have discovered a strange intergalactic ring that may be the first of its kind found. The large radio circle lurks between the Milky Way and a neighboring galaxy, and its discoverers suggest it may be the remains of an unusual supernova.Con… Continue reading Mysterious intergalactic ring may be a first-of-its-kind discovery
Astronomers may be a step closer to solving a cosmic mystery known as odd radio circles (ORCs). New images, captured by the MeerKAT radio telescope, are the clearest and most detailed yet taken of an ORC, helping to narrow down the list of suspects as … Continue reading New data reveals secrets of million-light-year-wide “odd radio circles”
