The Hubble Space Telescope happened to observe long-period comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) as it fractured into four pieces near its perihelion, capturing a rare three-day sequence that offers insights into how comets break apart and what lies beneath their surfaces.
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope discovered Cloud-9, a rare starless, gas-rich cloud of dark matter that is on the verge of becoming a galaxy, providing evidence supporting the Lambda cold dark matter model and offering insights into dark matter halos and galaxy formation.
Astronomers have discovered a new celestial object called 'Cloud 9,' a starless, gas-rich dark matter hydrogen cloud near galaxy Messier 94, which provides insights into dark matter and early universe formation. This is the first confirmed existence of such an object, offering a glimpse into primordial galaxy building blocks and the dark universe.
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have discovered a new type of cosmic object called Cloud 9, a dark matter and gas cloud with no stars, located near galaxy M94. This relic, known as a RELHIC, offers a rare glimpse into dark matter and galaxy formation, potentially serving as a primordial building block of galaxies, and may help scientists understand the early universe better.
Astronomers observed what they thought was a planet around star Fomalhaut, but it vanished due to a collision between asteroid-sized bodies, creating a debris cloud. A second similar object appeared nearby, indicating violent impacts rather than a new planet, challenging existing models of planetary formation and raising concerns for future exoplanet detection methods.
NASA's Hubble telescope has captured detailed images of the largest and most chaotic protoplanetary disk, IRAS 23077+6707, revealing turbulent structures and asymmetries that challenge traditional views of planet formation, providing a unique laboratory to study these processes in real-time.
New Hubble images of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS reveal a double-jet structure with varying brightness, suggesting possible rotational wobble or source variability, and providing insights into its activity post-perihelion and the nature of its jets.
Astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have captured the largest and most chaotic protoplanetary disk, nicknamed 'Dracula’s Chivito,' providing new insights into planet formation processes in a massive, active environment about 1,000 light-years away.
NASA's Hubble Telescope discovered a massive, chaotic protoplanetary disk called Dracula’s Chivito, 1,000 light-years away, which is about 40 times the size of our solar system and offers insights into early planet formation in turbulent environments.
New observations suggest that the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS may be turning blue for the third time, possibly due to gas leaks, after a brightening event; its color changes have been temporary and further study is ongoing as it approaches Earth.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured a detailed image of a star cluster in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, providing insights into star formation and galactic evolution in different environments.
The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of galaxy NGC 2775, a peculiar galaxy exhibiting both spiral and elliptical features, possibly due to past mergers, providing insights into galaxy evolution.
NASA's Hubble Telescope captured a before-and-after image of the supernova SN 2018gv in galaxy NGC 2525, illustrating the brightness and fading of this Type Ia supernova over a year, which helps astronomers measure cosmic distances and study the universe's expansion.
A rare interstellar object, 3I/Atlas, is passing through our solar system, offering scientists a unique opportunity to study its composition and origin, with expectations of it being a comet from outside our solar system, and it will make a close approach to the sun between October and December.
Astronomers observe a mysterious interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, which appears to emit its own light, leading Harvard scientist Avi Loeb to speculate it could be an alien spacecraft rather than a natural comet, especially given its unusual brightness and trajectory. The object will pass near Mars this fall, offering a chance for direct observation with NASA's instruments.
