Each day this week, NASA has been publishing a new galaxy image captured by the venerable Hubble Space Telescope. In addition to sharing fascinating information about some of the most interesting galaxies in the universe, each post has also been a visual treat.
The James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-InfraRed Instrument (MIRI) and Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam) have captured the graceful, well-defined bending arms of the grand-design spiral galaxy M51, also known as NGC 5194.
Peter Baumgarten is an award-winning nature photographer, educator, and OM SYSTEM Ambassador based on Canada’s Manitoulin Island. The island’s dark sky location provides Baumgarten with stunning nature and minimal light pollution, which allows the photographer to capture bright stars, the Milky Way, and northern lights from right outside his front door.
"Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form?" NASA writes. The James Webb Space Telescope hasn't been in space long, but it's already delivering critical insights into this monumental question.
The largest supernova seen in over a decade just exploded (from the perspective of observers on Earth), and one lucky photographer managed to capture it in a before-and-after sequence of photos.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (NGRST or Roman) will feature two primary instruments, a 300.8-megapixel infrared Wide Field Instrument (WFI) and a Coronagraph designed for studying faint objects, when it launches in 2027. The NASA Goddard team recently installed a vital subsystem for the space telescope's Wide Field Instrument.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning "smash-up" of two spiral galaxies. Collectively called Arp 220, the collision of the pair of galaxies has facilitated massive star formation.
Astronomers used NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the International Gemini Observatory to discover a distant, lonely galaxy that has assimilated its former nearby galaxies, essentially having cannibalized its neighbors.
Samsung stuck with a familiar look in the Galaxy S23 Ultra, but it’s what is underneath that counts and it pushes the phone’s camera forward as a tougher competitor.
The James Webb Space Telescope has recently captured a large spiral galaxy that resembles Earth's own Milky Way Galaxy that exists a little over a billion light years away.
Scientists have been given an unprecedented glimpse into the early stages of the universe thanks to new images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a mid-infrared image of the spiral galaxy IC 5332, which shows an entirely different view compared to what Hubble is able to see of the same region.
Two spiral galaxies were photographed "colliding" into one another by the Hubble Space Telescope but the image is actually a celestial optical illusion.
The James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) has been used to capture a gorgeous and mesmerizing photo of the heart of galaxy M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy.
The European Space Agency (ESA) has published a video that puts into perspective just how far away the latest target of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the Cartwheel Galaxy, is.
The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered a follow-up to its first images that were revealed last month. The photo is of the Cartwheel Galaxy and is a composite image created from its Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI).
Samsung has launched the Galaxy devices self-repair program that it operates in conjunction with iFixit. Starting today, device owners can replace the screen, back glass, and charging ports for Galaxy S20 and S21 series phones as well as the Galaxy Tab S7+.
Samsung has launched a new "repair mode" for its Galaxy S21 phones that keeps photos and data hidden from repair technicians and assures privacy.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has broken the record for the oldest galaxy ever observed by nearly 100 million years. The galaxy, called GLASS-z13, dates to just 300 million years after the big bang.
An international research team has observed signs of rotation in a galaxy that existed only 500 million years after the Big Bang, easily the earliest galaxy ever observed that shows a signature of rotation.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich's annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2022 competition has revealed this year's shortlisted photos from all over the globe.
Messier 64, otherwise known as M64 or the Black Eye galaxy, resides about 17 million light-years away, but during the month of May it is actually observable with a moderately-sized telescope and can be photographed from Earth.
Travel and adventure photography blog Capture the Atlas has published its annual Milky Way Photographer of the Year collection that showcases the best night sky captures from all around the world.
I recently shot a photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy that went viral, appearing everywhere from the front page of Reddit to Newsweek. The photo was taken with a four-inch telescope over the course of multiple nights from my backyard near Charlottesville, Virginia, US.
Astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It was theorized there was a black hole at the center of the galaxy but this image provides overwhelming evidence that this is the case.
Hubble recently celebrated 32 years of imaging the sky, which has resulted in over 1.4 million observations. Physicist Casey Handmer combined those observations into a single image to see how much of the sky Hubble had actually captured.
NASA is celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope's 32nd birthday through a remarkable photo that shows a collection of five closely-knit galaxies called The Hickson Compact Group 40.
A team of international astronomers has discovered what is believed to be the most distant galaxy ever observed. Called HD1, it is 13.5 billion light-years away, 100 million light-years farther from Earth than the last record-holder.
In a new photo captured by Hubble, what appears to be a calm spiral galaxy belies the supermassive black hole at its nucleus.
Hubble has photographed a massive spiral galaxy that lies about 60 million light-years from Earth. Despite its size, it's far from the largest celestial object known to astronomers.
