NASA’s Chandra, Hubble Tune Into ‘Flame-Throwing’ Guitar Nebula

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Normally found only in heavy metal bands or certain post-apocalyptic films, a “flame-throwing guitar” has now been spotted moving through space. Astronomers have captured movies of this extreme cosmic object using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope. The new movie of Chandra (red) and Palomar (blue) data helpsContinue reading “NASA’s Chandra, Hubble Tune Into ‘Flame-Throwing’ Guitar Nebula”

Discovery Alert: A Rare Glimpse of a Newborn Planet

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY The discovery A huge planet with a long name – IRAS 04125+2902 b – is really just a baby: only 3 million years old. And because such infant worlds are usually hidden inside obscuring disks of debris, it is the youngest planet so far discovered using the dominant method ofContinue reading “Discovery Alert: A Rare Glimpse of a Newborn Planet”

What is BioSentinel?

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Editor’s Note: This article was updated Nov. 20, 2024 shortly after BioSentinel’s mission marked two years of operation in deep space. Astronauts live in a pretty extreme environment aboard the International Space Station. Orbiting about 250 miles above the Earth in the weightlessness of microgravity, they rely on commercial cargo missions about everyContinue reading “What is BioSentinel?”
