This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features two interacting galaxies that are so intertwined, they have a collective name – Arp 91. Their delicate galactic dance takes place more than 100 million light-years from Earth. The two galaxies comprising Arp 91 have their own names: the lower galaxy, which looks like a bright spot, is NGC 5953, and the oval...
Credits: ESA/Hubble and NASA, A. Nota, C. Britt This comparison of two images shows puffing dust bubbles and an erupting gas shell – the final acts of a monster star’s life. 这两张图片的对比显示了膨胀的尘埃气泡和喷发的气体外壳——这是一颗巨型恒星生命的最后一幕。 These new views showcase the dual nature of the star AG Carinae, which was the target of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope’s 31st anniversa...
On Women’s Equality Day, NASA celebrates the women who are breaking barriers and paving the way for future generations. In this image, Dr. Nancy Grace Roman (1925-2018), NASA’s first Chief of Astronomy and “the Mother of Hubble,” visits the Space Telescope Operations Control Center at the Goddard Space Flight Center on March 31, 2017, and m...
2021年7月28日 Ring Galaxy AM 0644-741 Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble, HLA; Processing: Jonathan Lodge Explanation: The rim of the large blue galaxy at the right is an immense ring-like structure 150,000 light years in diameter composed of newly formed, extremely bright, massive stars. AM 0644-741 is known as a ring galaxy and was caused by an immense galaxy co...
天文学家首次在木星的卫星木卫三的大气中发现了水蒸气的证据。这种水蒸气是在木卫三表面的冰升华时形成的，也就是说，从固体变成气体。 科学家们利用NASA哈勃太空望远镜新的档案数据集，做出了这一发现，发表在《自然天文学》杂志上。 这张照片展示了1996年NASA哈勃太空望远镜观测到的木星卫星木卫三。木卫三位于5亿英里(超过6亿公里)之外，哈勃可以跟踪卫星上的变化，并在紫外和近红外波长揭示其他特征。天文学家现在利用哈勃望远镜提供的新的档案数据集，首次揭示了木星卫星木卫三大气中存在水蒸气的证据，这是由于水蒸气从卫星的冰面热逸出而来。 影像来源：NASA, ESA, John Spencer (SwRI Boulder) 此前的研究提供了间接证据，表明太阳系最大的卫星木卫三含有的水比地球上所有的海洋都要多。然而，那里的温度...
Two enormous galaxies capture your attention in this spectacular image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope using the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). The galaxy on the left is a lenticular galaxy, named 2MASX J03193743+4137580. The side-on spiral galaxy on the right is more simply named UGC 2665. Both galaxies lie approximately 350 million light-years ...
This image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope depicts the open star cluster NGC 330, which lies around 180,000 light-years away inside the Small Magellanic Cloud. The cluster – which is in the constellation Tucana (the Toucan) – contains a multitude of stars, many of which are scattered across this striking image. Because star clusters form from ...
2021年06月29日 Orion Nebula: The Hubble View Image Credit: NASA, ESA, Hubble Legacy Archive; Processing: Francisco Javier Pobes Serrano Explanation: Few cosmic vistas excite the imagination like the Orion Nebula. Also known as M42, the nebula’s glowing gas surrounds hot young stars at the edge of an immense interstellar molecular cloud only 1,500 light-ye...
A cataclysmic cosmic collision takes center stage in this image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The image features the interacting galaxy pair IC 1623, which lies around 275 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus (the Whale). The two galaxies are in the final stages of merging, and astronomers expect a powerful inflow of gas to i...
This image shows the spiral galaxy NGC 5037, in the constellation of Virgo. First documented by William Herschel in 1785, the galaxy lies about 150 million light-years away from Earth. Despite this distance, we can see the delicate structures of gas and dust within the galaxy in extraordinary detail. This detail is possible using Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3...
