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.
The James Webb Space Telescope is a space telescope operated by NASA and designed primarily to conduct infrared astronomy. Launched in December 2021, the spacecraft has been in a halo orbit around the second Sun–Earth Lagrange point (L 2), about 1.5 million kilometers (900,000 mi) from Earth, since January 2022.
Christmas is less than a week away, and even the night sky is spreading some holiday cheer with what could be the largest Christmas tree in the universe. On Tuesday, NASA released an image of NGC ...
The images are either visible spectrum photographs, images taken at non-visible wavelengths and displayed in false color, video footage, animations, artist's conceptions, or micrographs that relate to space or cosmology. Past images are stored in the APOD Archive, with the first image appearing on June 16, 1995. [3]

NASA has blasted a spacecraft, traveling at speeds up to 92,000 mph, to the most mysterious asteroids in our solar system.Called the Trojan asteroids, they are trapped in two swarms — one in ...
Images of NGC 3132 reveal two stars close together within the nebulosity, one of 10th magnitude, the other 16th, located about 1.7″ away from the central star.The central star of the planetary nebula is a white dwarf, and is the fainter of the two stars.
A giant solar sail recently unfurled by Nasa has been spotted “tumbling” through space.. Astronomers captured the 80-square-metre object, which was unfurled last week, appearing to fluctuate ...
