Nebulae are vast clouds of gas and dust, sometimes reaching sizes of light years, marking the creation sites of new stars and marking the deathbeds of old stars. Due to the light of the nearby ...

Emission nebulae are glowing, spread-out clouds of ionized gas that shine with their own light. In this image of NGC 2313, the bright star V565 at the center lights up a silvery curtain of gas and ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a planetary nebula designated Messier 57 (also known as NGC 6720), dubbed the Ring Nebula. As a result, ...

SPHEREx's new images — containing roughly 100,000 points of light stars, galaxies and nebulae — have confirmed that the ...

An international team of astronomers led by Stefan Kimeswenger from the Department of Astro and Particle Physics, together with scientific amateurs, has identified a new class of galactic nebulae. Thi ...

Telescopes are evolving, and their appeal is ever widening, and the Vaonis Hestia is the perfect example. It was first announced almost a year ago, billed as the world's first smartphone-based ...

M57, also known as the Ring Nebula, is a planetary nebula—the glowing remnant of a sun-like star. At its center lies a tiny white dot, the star’s hot core, known as a white dwarf.

Edwin Powell Hubble is renowned for determining that there are other galaxies in the Universe beyond the Milky Way, and for observing that the universe is expanding at a constant rate. Hubble was ...

The two keys to Edwin Hubble's breakthrough discovery were forged by others in the 1910s. The first key, the period-luminosity scale discovered by Henrietta Leavitt, allowed astronomers to ...

Fluffy strands of cosmic gas and dust illuminated by bright young stars form a beautiful cloudscape in a neighboring nebula. Young stars enveloped in a transformative cocoon of gas shine brightly ...

Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed high-resolution observations of a nearby pulsar wind nebula in the supernova remnant G11.2−0.3. Results of the ...
