Science and technology, explained simply
The Hubble Space Telescope has taken a photo of a 250 thousand meter long star bridge. light years, stretching between two galaxies from the Arp 295 group, NASA reports. When galaxies are so close that they gravitationally affect each other’s shape, they are called interacting galaxies. The process of interaction takes place over billions […]
The latest photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope captures the collision of two spiral galaxies, NGC 6040 and LEDA 59642, at a distance of about 570 million light years from Earth. This incredible cosmic event looks spectacular and dynamic, but in fact it is quite slow and will take hundreds of millions of years. […]
Just 22 light-years away, orbiting a small red dwarf star, there is a tiny world that scientists from the United States have confirmed is the closest known Earth-sized world to our solar system. It is called LTT 1445 Ac, an exoplanet with a mass 1.37 times that of the Earth and 1.07 times the radius […]
NASA has published an image of the pair interaction of galaxies Arp-Madore 2339-661, which is associated with the dancing of supermassive space objects. Photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope (NASA/ESA). The two clearly defined galaxies are NGC 7733 (smaller, bottom right) and NGC 7734 (larger, top left). The third galaxy is now called NGC […]
Scientists have obtained an image of the ESO 174-1 object. It is an irregular galaxy located not far from us, according to the NASA website. What is known ESO 174-1 is located 11 million light years from Earth. On a galactic scale, it can be considered a neighbor of the Milky Way. The photographed galaxy […]
NASA is hatching plans to restart the Hubble space observatory. The equipment of the telescope, which has been in orbit for more than 30 years, needs repair and maintenance, and there is also the question of raising the orbit of the observatory. By 2025, Hubble’s orbit will decrease to 500 km, and its support will […]
One of the most famous and most effective space observatories, Hubble, began operations in 1990 and is still in operation (although it was designed for 15 years). Recently, the telescope made another discovery. The farthest star has detected. Now her name is Earendel. It existed for the first billion years after the birth of the […]
