Solitary Dwarf Galaxy Detected by Hubble Space Telescope

December 24, 2014 Posted by Staff

A team of astronomers led by the University of Hawaii have recently found a solitary dwarf galaxy located 7 million light-years away from Earth. The new found galaxy was discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope in the Milky Way’s near vicinity. Researchers located the new galaxy, labeled KKs3, within a cluster of 54 galaxies they were trying to map. KKs3 is a solitary dwarf spheroidal galaxy, a … [Read more...]

New Way of Measuring Exoplanets’ Magnetosphere

November 23, 2014 Posted by Staff

By measuring parameters of the hydrogen layer surrounding a distant extrasolar planet, a group of international scientists were able to estimate the size and shape of its magnetosphere. The findings were compiled in a general model that could be used in future scientific attempts of measuring any exoplanets’ magnetosphere. Extrasolar planets or exoplanets are planets located millions of … [Read more...]

Hubble Telescope Seeks New Targets for Pluto Probe

June 18, 2014 Posted by Editor

The Hubble Space Telescope has begun looking for icy world beyond Pluto as part of a fast-moving campaign to double the scientific payoff from NASA's New Horizons mission. In 2006, New Horizons became the fastest object that humanity has ever sent away from the Earth, and it has only picked up speed since then. New Horizons' primary goal is to send a spacecraft flying past Pluto and its moons … [Read more...]

Hubble space telescope capable of determining rotation rate of the LMC

February 20, 2014 Posted by Contributor

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have been utilized by the astronomers to accurately measure the rotation rate of a galaxy for the first time, based on the clock-like movement of its stars. The study showed that the central part of the neighboring galaxy, called the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), finishes a rotation every 250 million years, same as the time taken by our sun to complete a rotation … [Read more...]
