Maestro Piotr Gajewski conducts the National Philharmonic in the world premiere performance of Henry Dehlinger’s “Cosmic Cycles,” in this photo from Thursday, May 11, 2023, as an enhanced color image of Jupiter is displayed above. “Cosmic Cycles: A Space Symphony” is a collaboration between composer […]
天文学家利用NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜拍摄了附近一颗年轻恒星北落师门周围的温暖尘埃，以便研究在太阳系外用红外光观测到的第一个小行星带。
This new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope shows interacting galaxies known as AM 1214-255. These galaxies contain active galactic nuclei, or AGNs. An AGN is an extraordinarily luminous central region of a galaxy. Its extreme brightness is caused by matter whirling into a supermassive black h
A menagerie of interesting astronomical finds are visible in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. In addition to several large elliptical galaxies, a ring-shaped galaxy is lurking on the right of the image. A pair of bright stars are also visible at the left of the image, notable for
NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜已经开始揭示宇宙历史上迄今为止遥不可及的形成时期：星系的形成和聚集。天文学家称之为红移7.9的距离，即大爆炸后仅6.5亿年，首次证实了由七个星系组成的原星团。
天文学家正在庆祝NASA的哈勃太空望远镜发射33周年，并拍摄了一张附近恒星形成区域NGC 1333的空灵照片。该星云位于英仙座分子云中，距离地球约960光年。
在NASA的詹姆斯·韦伯太空望远镜拍摄的这张照片中，Arp 220就像一座闪耀在星系海洋中的辉煌灯塔，照亮了夜空。实际上，两个螺旋星系在合并的过程中，Arp 220发出最亮的红外光，这使得它成为韦伯的理想目标。
This image taken with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows JO204, a ‘jellyfish galaxy’ so named for the bright tendrils of gas that appear in this image as drifting lazily below JO204’s bright central bulk. The galaxy lies almost 600 million light-years away in the constellation Sextans. Hubble
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the globular star cluster NGC 2419. Globular clusters are both beautiful and fascinating. They are spherical groups of stars that orbit the center of a galaxy, and in the case of NGC 2419, that galaxy is our own Milky Way. NGC 2419 is around
