NASA's Hubble Telescope Spots 'Gomez's Hamburger', A Distant Star Wrapped In Dust
Located about 6,500 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius, Gomez's Hamburger has already expelled large amounts of gas and dust.

James Webb Space Telescope Reveals Cosmic Buckyballs in Distant Nebula
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have mapped buckyballs in a distant nebula. These complex carbon molecules, arranged in a shell, could offer clues to the chemistry that underpins life in the universe.

Hubble and Euclid Reveal Stunning New View of Cat’s Eye Nebula
Astronomers combined observations from the Hubble and Euclid space telescopes to produce a detailed image of the Cat’s Eye Nebula. The composite view reveals intricate shells, jets, and a faint outer ring formed from earlier eruptions of the dying star.

James Webb Telescope Captures Stunning Infrared View of Exposed Cranium Nebula
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured remarkably detailed infrared images of PMR 1, known as the “Exposed Cranium,” a planetary nebula roughly 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Vela. The observations reveal a glowing inner “brain” region surrounded by a hydrogen gas shell, divided by a dark lane of ejected material, pro...

Hubble Reveals Dramatic Final Moments of a Sun-Like Star in the Egg Nebula
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has released a striking new image of the Egg Nebula, capturing a Sun-like star in its brief pre-planetary phase. Twin beams of light pierce glowing shells of dust and gas, offering astronomers a rare close-up view of stellar death about 1,000 light-years from Earth.

James Webb Captures Stunning Infrared Image of the Helix Nebula Eye of God
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed infrared image of the Helix Nebula, also known as the “Eye of God.” The glowing ring of gas around a white dwarf star reveals filaments and knots formed as stellar winds collide with older material, offering insight into the fate of Sun-like stars.

Hubble Captures Mars, Cosmic Nebulae, and Distant Galaxies in Spectacular 35th Anniversary Photos
To celebrate 35 years in orbit, the Hubble Space Telescope has released breathtaking new images of Mars, a planetary nebula, and a distant spiral galaxy. Since its 1990 launch, Hubble has captured nearly 1.7 million observations and continues to awe scientists and stargazers alike with vivid cosmic scenes that reveal the ever-changing beauty of our...

Oldest Planetary Nebula Hosted by 500-Million-Old Galactic Cluster Discovered: All Details
The oldest visible planetary nebula has been discovered by astronomers inside a 500-million-year-old galactic open cluster. These planetary nebulas are glowing shrouds ejected from dying stars, which present a spectacular sight. Believed to be of high astrophysical value, the rare celestial jewel has been discovered inside a cluster called M37 and ...
