Red hydrogen gas bubbles, energized by radiation from newly formed stars, add to the galaxy’s visual splendor. Near the galactic core, intensely hot young stars within a gas disk emit powerful X-rays. At the very center, an active galactic nucleus, fueled by a supermassive black hole, produces even stronger X-rays, classifying NGC 1672 as a Seyfert galaxy.
The two interacting galaxies, making up the pair known as 'Arp-Madore 608-333', seem to float side by side in this image from the Hubble Space Telescope.
Los Angeles: NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has confirmed the largest comet nucleus ever seen by astronomers, the agency has said. The estimated diameter of the largest icy comet nucleus is approximately 80 miles (128 km), making it larger than the state of Rhode Island, NASA said on Tuesday, Xinhua news agency reported. The nucleus is […]
Washington: NASA and European Space Agency’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured images of a Jupiter-like protoplanet forming through what researchers describe as an “intense and violent process”. This discovery supports a long-debated theory for how planets like Jupiter form, called “disk instability”, the researchers said. The new planet under construction is embedded in a protoplanetary […]
The star, called AG Carinae, is a few million years old and resides 20,000 light-years away inside our Milky Way galaxy. It is estimated to be up to 70 times more massive than our Sun and shines with the blinding brilliance of one million suns.
The exoplanet called "HD106906 b" occupies an unlikely orbit around a double star 336 light-years away, according to the study published in the Astronomical Journal.
