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.

James Webb Watches a Young Star Bake Crystals for Future Planets
Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have observed a young star in the Serpens Nebula forging crystalline silicates during powerful outbursts. The findings explain how heat-formed minerals can end up in cold cometary regions and planet-forming disks, shedding light on early stages of planet formation.

New Study Confirms TeV Halos Are Common in Middle-Aged Pulsars
A recent study by researchers from the U.S. and Mexico using data from the HAWC Observatory has confirmed that TeV halos are a universal feature of middle-aged pulsars. These extended regions of gamma-ray emission are significantly larger than pulsar wind nebulae and may help identify otherwise undetectable pulsars. The findings challenge existing ...

James Webb Space Telescope Captures Hourglass Nebula LBN 483 in Stunning Detail
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented details of LBN 483, a nebula located 650 light-years away. The striking hourglass-shaped structure results from outflows driven by a forming binary star system. JWST’s infrared imaging and ALMA’s radio observations reveal how stellar winds, jets, and magnetic fields sculpt the nebula ove...

NASA's X-Ray Telescopes Capture Mysterious 'Ghost Hand' In Space
NASA's new X-ray telescope observed the haunting 'bones' of a ghostly cosmic hand 16,000 light-years from Earth for a record 17 days.

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope Shares Image of Celestial Cloudscape in Orion Nebula
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a region of colourful dust and gas clouds encircling an HH 505 or a Herbig-Haro object in the Orion Nebula. Herbig-Haro objects, which are bright regions surrounding young stars, are created when stellar winds or jets of gas emitted by these stars collide violently with neighbouring gas and dust.

NASA's Hubble Captures Image of Giant Star, 32 Times the Size of the Sun, at the Centre of Lagoon Nebula
NASA has recently shared an image that showed the world around Herschel 36. The image featured a cosmic landscape that appears to be incredibly serenic, but the region is full of turbulence as well. This star is at the centre of the Lagoon Nebula, a giant interstellar cloud in the constellation Sagittarius and located around 4,000 light-years away.

NASA's Hubble Captures Malnourished Black Hole at Core of Spiral Galaxy NGC 3147 in Draco Constellation
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has recently shared images of a spiral galaxy named NGC 3147. This majestic galaxy is located about 130 million light-years away in the constellation Draco, also called the "dragon". The image shows the galaxy's graceful, winding arms appear like a grand spiral staircase sweeping through space. In reality, these spiral...
