Hubble Ultra Deep Field

Flickering Black Holes in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field

Explore the depths of the universe with this stunning new image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, a region first captured in 2004 and reimaged in 2023. By comparing Hubble's near-infrared exposures over nearly two decades, astronomers discovered 'flickering' supermassive black holes at the centers of early galaxies. Some of these black holes consume surrounding material in bursts, causing them to glow brighter intermittently, as shown by the bright white spot in the inset. This discovery reveals even more black holes than anticipated, giving us deeper insights into the early universe and galaxy evolution.

Hubble's Latest Image of Messier 90: A Spiral Galaxy in Transition

This stunning image, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, showcases Messier 90 (M90), a spiral galaxy located 55 million light-years away in the Virgo Cluster. The inner regions of M90's disc are active sites of star formation, highlighted by red H-alpha light from nebulae, while the outer regions lack such activity. Approximately 300 million years ago, M90's journey through the dense core of the Virgo Cluster led to the stripping of its gaseous content, visible here as a diffuse halo. This process has deprived M90 of the material needed for future star formation, setting it on a path to evolve into a lenticular galaxy over the coming billions of years. Interestingly, M90 is one of the few galaxies moving closer to Earth, as its accelerated motion is causing it to escape the Vi

NGC 1365

The Great Barred Spiral Galaxy

Marvel at the breathtaking beauty of galaxy NGC 1559, a barred spiral galaxy located 35 million light-years away in the constellation Reticulum. This composite image, created from ten different Hubble captures, spans the telescope’s full light sensitivity, from ultraviolet to near-infrared, revealing stunning details across a vast range of astrophysical processes. Bright pink and red patches in NGC 1559’s arms indicate regions of active star formation, glowing with H-alpha light from hydrogen gas clouds. With data collected over multiple observing programmes since 2009, this image offers scientists and the public a rare glimpse into our cosmic past.

Exploring the Universe's Expansion with Webb's Stunning Galaxy Cluster Snapshot

Scientists are unlocking new insights into the Universe’s expansion rate using data from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope! This incredible image from Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) captures the galaxy cluster PLCK G165.7+67.0, a cosmic lens magnifying distant galaxies behind it. In a unique discovery, the gravitational lensing effect has triply imaged a distant Type Ia supernova — labeled as SN H0pe — allowing astronomers to further refine measurements of the Hubble constant.

NGC 972

A tale of two galaxies: A rare intergalactic duo

This image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope shows a rare sight: a galaxy group with only two members! The galaxies, NGC 5996 and NGC 5994, are locked in a cosmic dance, their gravitational pull potentially shaping each other's destiny.
