Barnard 68 is a molecular cloud, dark absorption nebula or Bok globule, towards the southern constellation Ophiuchus and well within the Milky Way galaxy at a distance of about 125 parsecs (407 lightyears). [2]
The Kola Superdeep Borehole SG-3 (Russian: Кольская сверхглубокая скважина СГ-3, romanized: Kol'skaya sverkhglubokaya skvazhina SG-3) is the deepest human-made hole on Earth (since 1979), which attained maximum true vertical depth of 12,262 metres (40,230 ft; 7.619 mi) in 1989. [1]
Webb's First Deep Field was taken by the telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and is a composite produced from images at different wavelengths, totalling 12.5 hours of exposure time. [3] [4] SMACS 0723 is a galaxy cluster visible from Earth's Southern Hemisphere, [5] and has often been examined by Hubble and other telescopes in search of ...
As the race in space was winding down, soviet scientists turned inwards. You'd never guess that this is the site of one of their great achievements. This hard-to-find rusty cap in the ruins of a ...
The dramatic improvement in Hubble's imaging capabilities after corrective optics were installed encouraged attempts to obtain very deep images of distant galaxies.. One of the key aims of the astronomers who designed the Hubble Space Telescope was to use its high optical resolution to study distant galaxies to a level of detail that was not possible from the ground.
Holmberg 15A (abbreviated to Holm 15A) is a supergiant elliptical galaxy and the central dominant galaxy of the Abell 85 galaxy cluster in the constellation Cetus, about 700 million light-years from Earth. [1]
In 2012, scientists exploring blue holes in the Bahamas discovered bacteria deep in the caves where no other life existed, potentially filling the knowledge “gap” on what types of lifeforms ...
Evolution models based on the mass of S5 0014+81's supermassive black hole predict that it will live for roughly 1.3 × 10 99 years (near the end of the Black Hole Era of the universe, when it is more than 10 88 times its current age), before it dissipates via Hawking radiation.
