The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a galaxy that appears as a question mark, due to a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. This unique observation provides valuable insights into the evolution of galaxies, including those similar to our own Milky Way in its early stages.
The Hubble Space Telescope has captured stunning images of two dwarf galaxies, revealing insights into their unique characteristics and the processes of galaxy formation and merging. One image showcases a smooth elliptical dwarf galaxy with a rare core of hot, young stars, while the other reveals a complex structure indicative of a historical merger. These observations provide valuable information for astronomers studying the evolution of galaxies.
NASA’s James Webb telescope has captured images of two distant galaxies, JADES-GS-z14-0 and JADES-GS-z14-1, that date back to nearly 300 million years after the Big Bang. These galaxies are among the earliest ever observed by humans and could provide insights into the formation of galaxies, stars, and black holes in the early universe.
NGC 4753, a lenticular galaxy located 60 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo, has long captivated astronomers with its intricate dust lanes that resemble a ghostly web. Now, a newly released image from the Hubble Space Telescope offers the most detailed view of this celestial marvel ever captured, shedding light on its enigmatic nature.
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of NGC 2217, a magnificent barred spiral galaxy approximately 65 million light-years away in the constellation Canis Major. Similar in size to the Milky Way, NGC 2217 is characterized by its luminous bar of concentrated stars in the central region, enveloped by tightly wound spiral arms.
A massive gas outflow, spanning one-fifth of the Milky Way’s diameter, has been discovered in the distant galaxy NGC 4383. This outflow, driven by stellar explosions, is ejecting vast amounts of hydrogen and other elements at over 447,000 miles per hour. The phenomenon, detected by the MAUVE survey, provides insights into the process of chemical pollution in galaxies.
