Hubble Finds Cosmic Dust Coating Uranus’ Moons, Not Radiation Scars
New Hubble Space Telescope observations have upended decades of expectations about Uranus’ moons. Scientists once thought the planet’s magnetic field darkened their backsides with radiation, but the latest data shows Titania and Oberon are collecting space dust on their leading sides instead. This “cosmic bug splatter” effect suggests dust ...

Hubble Unveils Galactic ‘Cotton Candy’ in the Large Magellanic Cloud
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a breathtaking image of glowing gas and dust in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way. The colorful filaments—nicknamed “galactic cotton candy”—highlight active star-forming regions. Taken with five filters across ultraviolet to infrared wavelengths, the image reveals ...

Hubble Captures First-Ever Rogue Black Hole Devouring a Star Outside Galactic Core
Astronomers led by Dr. Yuhan Yao have discovered the first offset tidal disruption event (TDE), where a rogue black hole outside a galaxy's core ripped apart a star. Spotted by the Hubble telescope and Zwicky Transient Facility, this marks historic evidence of a wandering supermassive black hole in action.

Hubble Captures Stunning Image of Peculiar Spiral Galaxy Arp 184 in Camelopardalis
Arp 184, also known as NGC 1961, is a stunning yet asymmetrical spiral galaxy captured by NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Located about 190 million light-years away in the Camelopardalis constellation, it features a single, starry spiral arm and a rich history of supernovae. Included in Halton Arp’s Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, Arp 184 stands...

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Helps Confirm the First Solitary Black Hole
In the Sagittarius constellation, a lone and first-ever solitary black hole has been discovered by a team of scientists. Although the discovery began in the year 2011, the observations have confirmed it recently. The size of this black hole is as massive as seven times of the sun. Despite the conflicts and differences of observations by another tea...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Detailed Mosaic of the Sombrero Galaxy
NASA’s Hubble reveals a detailed view of the Galactic favourite, the Sombrero Galaxy, telling about the rare shape of the galaxy. The Sombrero Galaxy is found to have metal-rich stars in its outer region. This research has a future scope of getting deeper insights into its formation by using the advanced imaging technique of Hubble.

Hubble Telescope Captures NGC 4536, a Starburst Galaxy with Intense Star Formation
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking image of NGC 4536, a starburst galaxy 50 million light-years away in the Virgo constellation. The galaxy’s sweeping spiral arms are filled with young blue star clusters and ionized hydrogen gas, indicating rapid star formation. Astronomers believe its bar-like structure channels gas toward t...

NASA’s Hubble Observes Rare Blue Lurker Star with Unusual Evolution in M67 Cluster
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has identified a rare stellar phenomenon called the “blue lurker” in the M67 star cluster. Located 2,800 light-years away, this star is part of a triple-star system and has an unusual evolutionary history. The blue lurker’s accelerated spin, taking just four days, contrasts with the typical rotation of Sun-like...
