Black and white photo of polygon-covered rocks on Mars that look like giant reptilian scales

section of Mars New photos reveal that it is covered in a surprising number of features, including chunks of fossilized giant reptile scales. But don’t worry. This strange structure was not created by giant aliens. Rather, it may have something to do with ancient water. NASA’s Curiosity spacecraft snapped a photo of a strange rock … Read more

The Hubble Space Telescope revisited the Crab Nebula for the first time in 25 years to reveal detailed images and track its rapid expansion. located 6,500 light years away The Crab Nebula in Taurus is the remains of a supernova that exploded about 1000 years ago. This fresh set of images provides an unparalleled perspective … Read more

A telescope with a triangular top wrapped in foil stands next to scaffolding, and people in clean white suits observe it under green light.

GREENBELT, Md. — On Tuesday (April 21) here at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, I saw scientists standing proudly around a metal device with towering orange solar panels and a gleaming silver pedestal. The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is finally completed, shining brightly before my eyes in a sterile white clean room. Julie McEnery, … Read more

NASA’s Hubble shines on young stars in the Trifid Nebula – NASA Science

by
Hubble's view of the vast star-forming region known as the Trifid Nebula. The upper left is bright blue. Brown and amber draw irregularly overlapping lines from the top right through the center and flow down to the bottom center. The bottom right corner is almost completely dark. Small amber stars appear throughout the scene. On the left side, a brown shape stands out that looks like a head with two horns. The left corner points to the left and is wavy. The right corner is triangular and points upwards. The brown dust flows down the back and continues toward the upper right. A pronounced line appears below the center of the body, approximately the same length as the left horn, changing from orange to red. On the left side of the head there is a separate small translucent column. You can see some slightly larger blue foreground stars with four diffraction spikes.

This shimmering region of star formation is a close-up of the Trifid Nebula, about 5,000 light-years from Earth, captured in intricate detail by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The colors in Hubble’s visible-light image, which marks the 36th anniversary of the mission’s launch on April 24, are reminiscent of an underwater scene filled with fine-grained sediment … Read more

Why don’t we see stars in photos of space? NASA’s explanation is simpler than you think, and the photos from Artemis II prove it.
