The middle image shows a view of the Horsehead Nebula in near-infrared light from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope in 2013. The image on the right features a new view of the Horsehead Nebula from ...
DALLAS (AP) — NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has revealed the sharpest images yet of a portion of a horse-shaped nebula, showing the “mane” in finer detail. The Horsehead Nebula, in the ...
Ionisation in the nebula is dominated by Sk 183, an extremely hot O3 main sequence star visible as the bright isolated star at the centre of the Hubble image. [11] A number of other, more distant galaxies also appear in the background of the Hubble Space Telescope images of NGC 602, making for a "tantalizing" [12] and "grand" [13] view.
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope recently captured a breathtaking image of the spiral galaxy NGC 2566. Astronomers use detailed Hubble images to study star clusters and active star-forming regions.
NGC 6357 is a diffuse nebula near NGC 6334 in the constellation Scorpius. The nebula contains many proto-stars shielded by dark discs of gas, and young stars wrapped in expanding "cocoons" or expanding gases surrounding these small stars. It is also known as the Lobster Nebula.
Hubble had studied the nebula previously at Yerkes and Mt. Wilson. [4] Hubble had taken photographic plates with the Yerkes 24-inch (60.96 cm) reflecting telescope in 1916. [ 5 ] Plates were taken using the same telescope in 1908 by F.C. Jordan, allowing Hubble to use a blink comparator to search for any changes over time in the nebula.
NGC 6826 (also known as Caldwell 15) is a planetary nebula located in the constellation Cygnus. It is commonly referred to as the "Blinking Planetary", although many other nebulae exhibit such "blinking". When viewed through a small telescope, the brightness of the central star overwhelms the eye when viewed directly, obscuring the surrounding ...
