NASA recently spotted the vibrant colors that make up the "cosmic wreath," a swarm of stars and dust on the outskirts of the Small Magellanic Cloud, one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way ...
WHL0137-LS, also known as Earendel, is a star located in the constellation of Cetus.Discovered in 2022 by the Hubble Space Telescope, it is the earliest and most distant known star, at a comoving distance of 28 billion light-years (8.6 billion parsecs).
Artificial star will be visible to ground telescopes. The purpose of the so-named Landolt NASA Space Mission is to place a calibrated light source into orbit at a distance of 22,236 miles from the ...
NASA on Tuesday unveiled a new batch of images from its new powerful space telescope, including a foamy blue and orange shot of a dying star. The first image from the $10 billion James Webb Space ...
This list of exoplanets discovered in 2023 is a list of confirmed exoplanets that were first reported in 2023. For exoplanets detected only by radial velocity, the listed value for mass is a lower limit. See Minimum mass for more information. Name Mass (M J) Radius (R J) Period (days) Semi-major axis (AU) Temp. (K) Discovery method Distance (ly) Host star mass (M ☉) Host star temp. (K ...
SPECULOOS-3 b is an Earth-sized exoplanet, orbiting the ultracool red dwarf star SPECULOOS-3.It is relatively close to Earth, at a distance of 55 light-years. [4] SPECULOOS-3 b takes only about 17 hours to complete an orbit around SPECULOOS-3, and, because of that proximity, it receives very high levels of radiation and is tidally locked, meaning that one side of the planet always faces its ...
Artist's conception of a white dwarf, right, accreting hydrogen from the Roche lobe of its larger companion star A nova (pl. novae or novas) is a transient astronomical event that causes the sudden appearance of a bright, apparently "new" star (hence the name "nova", Latin for "new") that slowly fades over weeks or months.
The Webb Space Telescope has captured the rare and fleeting phase of a star on the cusp of death. NASA released the picture Tuesday at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. The ...
