Astronomers operating the Hubble Space Telescope have had some interesting weeks where discoveries have kept them pretty busy. Last week, they discovered the unique magnifying lens galaxies. This week, astronomers observed another unusual phenomenon. They noticed that after a quite unique supernova explosion, a “zombie star” was left behind. Zombie stars arise when dwarf stars aren’t fully … [Read more...]
New Telescope Launched to Prove the Existence of Alien Life
According to a group of top NASA scientists, a forthcoming telescope will eventually help them to precisely detect any other form of life in our Universe. Thanks to data collected by the Kepler Space Telescope, launched in 2009, scientists now believe that nearly every star in our galaxy has at least one planet circling it. They want to prove the existence of alien life. Therefore the James … [Read more...]
Hubble Discovers Possibly The Oldest Object Ever Witnessed
The famous "Deep Field" photo of the Hubble Telescope illustrated that apparently vacant patches of space are in reality block full of far-flung objects. The original picture belonging to the year 1996 exposed thousands of galaxies in the apparently blank spot of sky. The same task has been again accomplished by the Hubble Telescope's new set of “Frontier Fields” images. It includes a galaxy … [Read more...]
NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer spot ancient galaxies that may lead to early universe
NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer Space telescopes have caught a rare quartet of galaxies that may reveal many facts about the early universe. The four galaxies, that are said to be more than 13 billion years old, are incredibly bright and luminous. The discovery was announced on Tuesday at the American Astronomical Society meeting in Maryland. The meeting was called to discuss upon the growth and … [Read more...]
