Discover the vibrant colors of distant nebulae, the serene landscapes of our neighboring planets, and the intricate dance of celestial bodies in motion. This collection not only highlights the stunning visuals of our cosmic surroundings but also aims to inspire a sense of wonder and curiosity about the vast expanse of space ( Images Curtesy: NASA)
The dark region seen on the face of the sun at the end of March 2013 is a coronal hole (just above and to the right of the middle of the picture), which is a source of fast solar wind leaving the sun in this image from NASA’s Solar Dynamic Observatory.
Exoplanets are the planets that orbit around other stars located outside our solar system. Exoplanets are also called extrasolar planets. All the stars have at least 1 planet revolving around themScientists used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to examine select star-forming areas in the Extreme Outer Galaxy in near- and mid-infrared light. Within this star-forming region, known as Digel Cloud 2S, the telescope observed young, newly formed stars and their extended jets of material. This Webb image also shows a dense sea of background galaxies and red nebulous structures within the region.It’s 7 billion years ago, and the universe’s heyday of star formation is beginning to slow. What might our Milky Way galaxy have looked like at that time? Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found clues in the form of a cosmic question mark, the result of a rare alignment across light-years of spaceMilky Way, our home galaxyThis illustration shows the Milky Way, our home galaxy.
