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...

ISRO Sets June 2025 Launch for Joint NASA-ISRO NISAR Satellite After Delays
NISAR, the joint NASA-ISRO satellite mission, is set to launch in June 2025 after resolving technical issues. It will monitor Earth's surface with advanced radar imaging. The NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar (NISAR) mission is finally nearing liftoff after overcoming delays caused by overheating concerns in its 12-meter radar antenna. Now sched...

Water on Ancient Mars? New Study Challenges the Cold Planet Theory
Scientists have uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that early Mars was surprisingly wet, featuring extensive networks of lakes and river basins shaped by rainfall and snowfall. This challenges long-held views of a predominantly cold and icy ancient Mars. Despite current climate models struggling to explain sustained liquid water on the Red Pl...

Signs of Alien Life Detected on Nearby Exoplanet Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
Astronomers have detected possible biosignature gases, including dimethyl sulfide (DMS), in the atmosphere of exoplanet K2-18b using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Located in the habitable zone, this “Hycean” world may host a vast ocean and a hydrogen-rich atmosphere, raising intriguing possibilities about alien life. Further research is ...

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.

NASA’s SPHEREx Mission Sends First Space Images Before Full Sky Survey
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope has captured its first images from space, marking a critical milestone before its full-sky infrared survey begins. The observatory, launched on March 11, recorded thousands of light sources, including distant galaxies and stars. Unlike other space telescopes, SPHEREx is designed for large-scale cosmic mapping, scanning th...

JWST Captures Unseen Details of Exoplanets in HR 8799 and 51 Eridani Systems
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured groundbreaking images of exoplanets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani systems. By modifying its coronagraphs, astronomers allowed more starlight to pass through, revealing clearer planetary details. The study, published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, highlights the first successful detection of ...
