The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a spiral galaxy under the "ram pressure" inside a massive cluster of galaxies.
Why it's so special: The Rosette Nebula is a big deal. At about 130 light-years across, it's roughly five times the size of the Orion Nebula — the closest star-forming region to Earth — and ...
Nebulas are mostly made up of dust, hydrogen, helium, and ionised gases. There are four types of nebulae: planetary nebulas, supernova remnants, dark nebulas, and emission nebulas. 5 breathtaking ...
The Rosette Nebula is a vast emission nebula located about 5,200 light years away ... and is known as the middle "star" in the "sword" of Orion. NASA' Hubble Space Telescope captured this image that ...
Cropped view of R Aquarii binary star system and nebula as seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. The venerable Hubble Space Telescope has seen some things, man. An eye-opening new Hubble image shows ...
NGC 1672, a barred spiral galaxy featured in this Hubble Space Telescope image, exhibits an extraordinary light display from hydrogen gas, newly-formed hot stars, and a bright active galactic nucleus ...
dynamic nebula. As the closest symbiotic star to Earth, R Aquarii was studied by none other than Edwin Hubble in an effort to understand the mechanism that powers the system. R Aquarii undergoes ...
This accounts for the mainly red hues of the nebula in the natural-colour RGB-only image. Oxygen and sulfur also contribute, and the other two versions are presented in tone-mapped (i.e. false) ...
