Hubble Space Telescope Tracks 25 Years Of Expansion In Crab Nebula
The recent observations have helped the scientists to track the growth of the Crab Nebula by comparing images taken decades apart.

NASA's X-Ray Mission Unveils Fresh Insights Into 2,000-Year-Old Supernova
In a recent study, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed the supernova's outer region.

Astronomers Witness Rare Failed Supernova in Andromeda Galaxy
NASA’s NEOWISE infrared telescope has provided striking evidence that a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy collapsed directly into a black hole without exploding as a supernova. The star, M31-2014-DS1, faded dramatically in visible light while leaving a faint infrared glow from surrounding dust. Astronomers say this rare “failed supernova” ...

NASA Finds Most Distant Calm Galaxy Cluster Ever Seen in Early Universe
Astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered SPT-CL J2215-3537, a massive galaxy cluster located 8.4 billion light-years away. Nicknamed the “Champagne Supernova” cluster, it is the most distant relaxed cluster ever observed, showing no signs of recent collisions. Its calm structure and active star formation challenge ex...

New NASA Image Shows Expanding Supernova Remnant Resembling "Human Hand"
A newly released NASA image reveals extraordinary details of a pulsar-driven nebula, shaped like a human hand reaching through space.

Hubble Discovers White Dwarf Merger Remnant with Unusual Carbon Signature
An international team of astronomers has discovered WD 0525+526, an unusual white dwarf about 128 light-years away, using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Unlike typical white dwarfs, this star formed through a stellar merger and shows an unexpectedly high carbon content. With a mass of 1.2 Suns and a scorching surface temperature of 21,000 K, the ...

Brightest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Observed Reveals Cosmic Secrets
On October 9, 2022, astronomers detected GRB 221009A, the most powerful gamma-ray burst ever recorded, earning the nickname “BOAT” (Brightest Of All Time). This rare, once-in-10,000-year event came from a galaxy 2 billion light-years away and temporarily blinded gamma-ray detectors. It revealed new insights into stellar death, as the associated...

How The Largest Black Hole Merger In History Challenges Its Physics
Astronomers have detected the largest black hole merger ever, and it has challenged their understanding of such formations.

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...

Signs Of A Supermassive Black Hole Hiding In Nearby Spiral Galaxy
Webb witnessed a highly ionised gas whose level of energy was too high to come from something like supernovae, making scientists believe the presence of a supermassive black hole.
