NASA has released a remarkable image of a black hole swallowing a star, revealing the dramatic final moments of a celestial body that ventured too close to one of the universe’s most mysterious objects. The event, known as a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE), occurred 600 million light-years away but has only just become visible to…
Hidden 600 million light-years away in the vastness of space from our naked eye sight lies a sneaky giant that’s eating up any unsuspecting star that ventures too close. This black hole made everyone remember its presence in a flashy tidal disruption event (TDE), tearing apart and consuming an unsuspecting star, emitting a huge blast…

The vermilion, amethyst and jade ribbons of the northern and southern lights are some of Earth’s most distinctive features. But our planet doesn’t have a monopoly on auroras. Scientists have spied them throughout the solar system, weaving through the skies of Mars, Saturn, Jupiter and even on some of Jupiter’s fiery and icy moons. Lights…
In an astonishing recent discovery, NASA‘s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed 36 new unknown dwarf galaxies surrounding the Andromeda galaxy. Not only does this incredible discovery reveal more about the enormous universe, but it also illuminates one of the Milky Way’s closest galactic neighbors’ mysterious cosmic neighborhood. The newly discovered dwarf galaxies, tiny but intriguing,…
Since Hubble’s launch, astronomers have discovered over 1 trillion galaxies, but Andromeda stands out as the closest and most significant to our Milky Way. Visible to the naked eye on clear autumn nights, it appears as a faint, cigar-shaped object, roughly the size of the Moon in the sky. (Image credits: Nasa) Source link
Nasa’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a rare cosmic phenomenon—an enormous galaxy, LEDA 1313424, rippling with nine star-filled rings after being struck by a much smaller blue dwarf galaxy.This incredible sight resembles a celestial bullseye and has more rings than ever detected in any galaxy.The team’s findings were published on Tuesday in The Astrophysical Journal…
The Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a mesmerizing new image of the Orion Nebula. It is a star-forming region, and its distance from Earth is about 1,500 light-years. This breathtaking view focuses on two young protostars, HOPS 150 and HOPS 153, actively shaping their cosmic surroundings. These stellar infants, emitting tremendous jets of energy and…
When you think of Hubble, the iconic Hubble Space Telescope likely comes to mind—a groundbreaking instrument that has revolutionised our understanding of the cosmos since its launch in 1990. Named after Edwin Hubble, one of the greatest astronomers of the 20th century, the telescope embodies his pioneering spirit and transformative contributions to astronomy.Born in 1889…
