Hubblecast 13: "Cosmic Fossil" Posted by: rshida
Video duration: 354 seconds The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new image of the galaxy NGC 1132 which is most likely to be a "cosmic fossil" -- the aftermath of an enormous multi-galactic pile-up, where the carnage of collision after collision has built up a brilliant but fuzzy giant elliptical galaxy far outshining typical galaxies.

Hubblecast 02: Galaxy bars and supermassive black holes Posted by: rshida
Video duration: 263 seconds Hubble has delivered an unrivalled snapshot of the nearby barred spiral galaxy NGC 1672. This remarkable image provides a high-definition view of the galaxy's large bar, its fields of star-forming clouds and its dark bands of interstellar dust.

Hubblecast 07 - Uncovering the Veil Nebula Posted by: rshida
Video duration: 377 seconds The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has photographed three magnificent sections of the Veil Nebula - the shattered remains of a supernova that exploded some 5-10,000 years ago. The new Hubble images provide beautiful views of the delicate, wispy structure resulting from this cosmic explosion.

Hubblecast 15: Black hole found in Omega Centauri Posted by: rshida
Video duration: 351 seconds For astronomers, Omega Centauri has been an outcast amongst globular clusters for a long time. A new result obtained by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and the Gemini Observatory provides a surprising explanation for Omega Centauri's peculiarities.

Hubblecast 22: Hubble directly observes exoplanet Posted by: rshida
Video duration: 302 seconds The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has discovered an extrasolar planet, for the first time using direct visible-light imaging. The strange world is far-flung from its parent star, is surrounded by a colossal belt of gas and dust, and may even have rings more impressive than Saturn's.

Hubblecast 12: Murk on a monster planet Posted by: rshida
Video duration: 375 seconds Using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have found the first clear evidence of high altitude haze or clouds in the atmosphere of an extrasolar planet. This discovery reveals a deeper understanding of the class of giant planets that astronomers call 'hot Jupiters' Related: astronomy, esa, hst, hubble, hubblecast, nasa, space |

Hubblecast 18: Hubble sees magnetic monster in galaxy Posted by: rshida
Video duration: 284 seconds The Hubble Space Telescope has solved a long-standing puzzle by resolving giant but delicate filaments shaped by a strong magnetic field around the active galaxy NGC 1275. It is the most striking example so far of the influence of the immense tentacles of extragalactic magnetic fields. Related: 1275, galaxy, hubblecast, magnetic, ngc |
