The NSF NOIRLab-operated Gemini North telescope captured stunning imagery of galaxies UGC 12914 and UGC 12915, aka 'Taffy Galaxies.' Their 'twisted appearance is the result of a head-on collision' ...

A gamma ray glow at our galaxy’s center has puzzled scientists for almost two decades. New computer simulations back the ...

Betelgeuse is a colossal star that shines brilliantly in the constellation Orion, approximately 600 light-years from Earth. Immense and unstable, this red supergiant is in the final stages of its ...

In October 1923, Edwin Hubble utilized the 100-inch Hooker telescope to photograph the Andromeda Nebula, identifying a variable star within it. Hubble applied the known period-luminosity relationship ...

Hubble has captured a striking new image of NGC 2775, a galaxy that defies easy classification. Blending features of spirals, ellipticals, and lenticulars, its puzzling structure may be the result of ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy that's hard to categorize. The galaxy in question is NGC 2775, which lies 67 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer (the Crab ...

Though NGC 7456 looks like a modest spiral galaxy, new Hubble and XMM-Newton observations reveal a bustling system with star-forming regions and an active core. The spiral galaxy NGC 7456 may appear ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Quintet of Galaxies From the Early Universe JWST and Hubble uncover JWST’s Quintet, a rare five-galaxy merger from the early universe, forming stars at a ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy whose asymmetric appearance may be the result of a galactic tug of war. Located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Leo, the ...

Hubble has captured the faint beauty of NGC 45, a spiral galaxy in Cetus whose glowing pink star-forming clouds reveal hidden activity. It belongs to the rare class of low surface brightness galaxies, ...
