NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures Active Galaxy M88 With Giant Black Hole
Scientists say these changes are likely to influence M88's ability to form stars in the future and will ultimately alter the course of its evolution.

NASA's Hubble Telescope Captures Mysterious Galaxy With No Spiral Arms, Reveals Rare Transition Phase
These findings suggest that the supermassive black hole at the centre may be preventing new stars from forming by pushing out.

NASA's James Webb Telescope Captures Dazzling New Image Of Spiral Galaxy
At the centre of M77 is an active galactic nucleus, a compact region filled with hot gas that shines brighter than the rest of the galaxy combined.

NASA Highlights Distant Barred Spiral Galaxy With Unique Shape And Unusual Core Activity
In the case of NGC 4394, scientists believe that gravitational interaction with a nearby galaxy may have pushed gas toward its centre.

Hubble Captures Gas Escaping Sideways Spiral Galaxy NGC 4388 in Virgo Cluster
Hubble has captured a glowing plume of gas escaping the spiral galaxy NGC 4388 in the Virgo cluster. Moving through hot intracluster gas, the galaxy sheds material, partially energised by its central black hole. Multi-wavelength observations reveal the impact of both environmental forces and central activity on galaxy evolution.

Webb’s Stunning View of Apep Shows a Rare Triple-Star System Wrapped in Spirals
Webb’s mid-infrared images of Apep reveal a rare triple-star system producing vast carbon-rich dust spirals from colliding stellar winds. The two Wolf–Rayet stars and a distant supergiant create layered shells that record centuries of activity and enrich the galaxy with elements vital for future stars and planets.

Astronomers Discover A Massive Distant Spiral Galaxy from the Early Universe
Astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), have identified Zhúlóng, a massive spiral galaxy with a redshift of 5.2. This discovery places the galaxy in a time when the universe was under a billion years old, providing critical insights into early galactic formation. Zhúlóng, named after a mythical Chinese dragon, spans 62,000 lig...

Hubble Captures NGC 5643’s Spiral Arms, Star Formation, and Hidden Black Hole
The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured detailed images of the spiral galaxy NGC 5643, located 40 million light-years away. This grand design galaxy features striking spiral arms outlined by young blue stars and dust clouds, with star-forming regions visible as pinkish hues. Ultraviolet and X-ray studies have revealed an active galactic nu...

Hubble Space Telescope Captures Rare Edge-On View of a Spiral Galaxy Located Millions of Light-Years Away
NASA and ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured an edge-on view of spiral galaxy UGC 10043, located around 150 million light-years away. Displaying its prominent dust lanes and unique bulge, this galaxy image highlights regions of active star formation. Captured in 2000 and 2023, the composite image uses various light wavelengths to detail the str...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Captures a Spiral Galaxy With Multiple Starburst Regions
The Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a stunning image of the spiral galaxy NGC 5248, also known as Caldwell 45, located 42 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Boötes. Known for its prominent spiral arms and intense star formation, NGC 5248 boasts two active nuclear rings, making it a fascinating subject for both professional and...

Hubble Captures Supermassive Black Hole Hidden Behind Dust
NASA's Hubble telescope has captured a stunning view of an active black hole covered behind tendrils of dark dust. The black hole lies in the spiral galaxy NGC 7172, located about 110 million light-years from Earth in the ancient, but small constellation Piscis Austrinus. The dark dust passes through the centre of the galaxy, obscuring its luminous...
