This newly released Hubble image shows the globular cluster Terzan 1, which is located 20,000 light-years away. This image, taken with the Wide Field Planetary…
Using data from the Kepler and Spitzer Space Telescopes, astronomers reveal that the small star called W1906+40 has a giant storm much like Jupiter’s Great…
New Chandra observations reveal a pulsar on the southern edge the Jellyfish Nebula and provide details about the structure and properties of this pulsar. The…
This newly released image from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is the highest resolution image ever obtained of Pluto’s heart-shaped region. On July 14 the telescopic…
Dwarf planet Ceres is shown in these false-color renderings, which highlight differences in surface materials. Images from NASA’s Dawn spacecraft were used to create a…
Using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array Radio Telescope, along with other telescopes at ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths, astronomers reveal new insights into solar…
Using precise radio imaging techniques, astronomers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics have determined the size of the shock around supernova SN 2011dh and estimated…
This newly released Cassini image shows Tethys dwarfed by Saturn and its rings. Tethys, dwarfed by the scale of Saturn and its rings, appears as…
Using NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer Space telescopes, astronomers have discovered the faintest object ever seen in the early universe. It existed about 400 million years…
This newly released composite image from NASA’s Cassini Spacecraft shows an infrared view of Saturn’s moon Titan. This new image was acquired during the mission’s…
New images from NASA’s New Horizons Spacecraft are the sharpest views of Pluto it obtained during its July flyby – and the best close-ups of…
This newly released Hubble image shows spiral galaxy NGC 7252, which is located in the Aquarius constellation. Only rarely does an astronomical object have a…
Using the Event Horizon Telescope, astronomers have measured the magnetic fields just outside the event horizon of Sagittarius A* for the first time. Most people…
This new image from the New Horizons Spacecraft demonstrates the ability of the spacecraft’s Long Range Reconnaissance Imager to capture distant objects in motion. NASA’s…
