  • Hubble Photographs Grand Design Spiral Galaxy M81
    Baltimore, MD (SPX) May 31, 2007
    The sharpest image ever taken of the large "grand design" spiral galaxy M81 is being released today at the American Astronomical Society Meeting in Honolulu, Hawaii. This beautiful galaxy is tilted at an oblique angle on to our line of sight, giving a "birds-eye view" of the spiral structure. The galaxy is similar to our Milky Way, but our favorable view provides a better picture of the typical ... more

    Space Artist Draws From Experience
    Cape Canaveral FL (SPX) May 18, 2007
    Ron Woods is one of the few people to effectively capture spacesuits in their native habitats. Designed to keep humans alive in the void of orbit and on the moon, the rugged garments nevertheless spend almost their entire lives in pristine rooms on Earth. It is there that Woods finds them and brings their stories to life. "To me, there's nothing more artistic than a spacesuit," Woods said. "They ... more

    The Seven Sisters Pose For Spitzer
    Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 13, 2007
    The Seven Sisters, also known as the Pleiades, seem to float on a bed of feathers in a new infrared image from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. Clouds of dust sweep around the stars, swaddling them in a cushiony veil. The view is quite different from what you might see if you look out to the west shortly after dusk. Right now, the famous family of stars is "stepping out" in the evening skie ... more

    Finding Beauty In The Universe
    Pasadena CA (JPL) Feb 08, 2007
    Beth A. Biller is part of an international team of astronomers trying to tease out images of planets around young stars by removing the distortions caused by Earth's atmosphere. Extrasolar planets are extremely faint targets to begin with, and an atmospheric effect known as "speckling" has thwarted most previous attempts to observe them directly. Using instruments installed at the Very Lar ... more

    Wispy Dust And Gas Paint Portrait Of Starbirth
    Baltimore MD (SPX) Aug 25, 2006
    This active region of star formation in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), as photographed by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, unveils wispy clouds of hydrogen and oxygen that swirl and mix with dust on a canvas of astronomical size. The LMC is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This particular region within the LMC, referred to as N 180B, contains some of the brightest known star clusters. ... more

    Spitzer Spies Galactic Masquerade Party Of Two
    Pasadena CA (SPX) Apr 27, 2006
    Spitzer Space Telescope's latest image shows a pair of galaxies peering out as though through a mask of surrounding stars. The NASA spacecraft's infrared image shows what looks like two icy blue eyes staring through an elaborate, swirling red mask - except the eyes actually are the cores of two merging galaxies - NGC 2207 and IC 2163 - locked gravitationally and began to twirl around each ... more

    Hubble Captures Cigar At Sweet Sixteen
    Baltimore MD (SPX) Apr 25, 2006
    To celebrate the Hubble Space Telescope's 16 years in orbit, NASA and ESA have released this image of the starburst galaxy Messier 82. The mosaic image represents the sharpest wide-angle view ever obtained of M82. The galaxy is remarkable for its bright blue disk, webs of shredded clouds, and fiery-looking plumes of glowing hydrogen blasting out of its central regions. Throughout the ... more

    Hubble Captures Pair Of Nearby Strings Of Cosmic Jewels
    Baltimore MD (SPX) Apr 18, 2006
    New images by the Hubble Space Telescope have captured the most detailed picture to date of the open star clusters NGC 265 and NGC 290 in the Small Magellanic Cloud – one of the Milky Way's nearest galactic neighbors. Hubble took the two composite images with its Advanced Camera for Surveys. They show the clusters in brilliant clarity, from a distance of about 200,000 light-years away. The ... more

    ESO Captures Cosmic Spider At Work
    Paranal, Chile (SPX) Apr 10, 2006
    Hanging above the nearly Large Magellanic Cloud - a miniature galaxy and one of the Milky Way's closest neighbors - is the Tarantula nebula. Also designated 30 Doradus or NGC 2070, the nebula owes its name to the arrangement of its brightest patches of nebulosity that somewhat resemble the legs of a spider. The name of one of the biggest spiders on Earth fits the nebula, because of its gig ... more

    Celestial Sleuths Unravel Munchs Missing Moon Mystery
    San Marcos TX (SPX) Mar 17, 2006
    Edvard Munch (1863-1944) is best known today for his iconic painting "The Scream," but a century ago the Norwegian artist's fame was firmly tied to his idyllic masterwork "Girls on the Pier." Despite its beloved status, two elements of the painting have puzzled admirers over the years: The yellow orb that Munch placed in the sky -- which different authorities have conflictingly identified ... more

    A Perfect Storm Of Turbulent Gases
    Baltimore - Apr 28, 2003
    Like the fury of a raging sea, this anniversary image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows a bubbly ocean of glowing hydrogen, oxygen, and sulphur gas in the extremely massive and luminous molecular nebula Messier 17. This Hubble photograph captures a small region within Messier 17 (M17), a hotbed of star formation. M17, also known as the Omega or Swan Nebula, is located about 5500 ... more

    Ringworlds Beyond Saturn
    Paris - Jan 06, 2003
    A near-infrared view of the giant planet Uranus with rings and some of its moons, was obtained November 19, 2002, with the ISAAC multi-mode instrument on the 8.2-m VLT ANTU telescope at the ESO Paranal Observatory (Chile). Don't worry -- you are not the only one who thought this was a nice amateur photo of planet Saturn, Lord of the Rings in our Solar System! But then the relative brig ... more

    A Wheel Within A Wheel
     Washington - Sep 10, 2002
    A nearly perfect ring of hot, blue stars pinwheels about the yellow nucleus of an unusual galaxy known as Hoag's Object. This image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captures a face-on view of the galaxy's ring of stars, revealing more detail than any existing photo of this object. The image may help astronomers unravel clues on how such strange objects form. The entire galaxy is about 120, ... more
