official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Even small asteroids lead complex lives. During its flyby of the asteroid Donaldjohanson last year, NASA’s Lucy spacecraft revealed the asteroid to be a wobbly, peanut-shaped body that has undergone a lot of activity in its relatively short history. Formed as fragments coalesced after a violent collision 155 million years ago, theContinue reading “NASA’s Lucy Reveals Wobbling, Peanut-Shaped Asteroid”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This image, captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and released on June 5, 2026, shows just a small portion of one of the Orion Molecular Clouds, a long and massive filament of cold gas and dust beyond the Orion Nebula. Every stage of star formation — from the youngestContinue reading “Stages of Star Formation”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY This NASA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy cluster, called CL0016+1609 or MACS J0018.5+1626, that is very bright at X-ray wavelengths and is one of the most extensively studied clusters at X-ray and radio wavelengths. The X-ray observations of this cluster revealed that it is two clusters merging alongContinue reading “Hubble Glimpses Merging Galaxy Clusters”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY NASA Wednesday announced a new public‑private partnership to advance Mars science by combining the agency’s scientific leadership with commercial innovation. Under this model, NASA will provide the Aeolus atmospheric‑science instrument payload suite, while Relativity Space supplies the spacecraft, rocket, and cruise operations necessary to deliver the instruments to Mars. ThisContinue reading “NASA Announces Public-Private Partnership to Advance Mars Science”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Some stars have planets. Others are orbited by brown dwarfs, balls of gas too massive to be planets, but too low-mass to be stars. Astronomers love these brown dwarf-star pairs because being paired with a star helps reveal a brown dwarf’s age. Ages of astronomical objects are often hard toContinue reading “Search for Hidden Cosmic Companions in Sun’s Backyard”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Looking somewhat like a swarm of bees returning to their hive, this NASA Hubble Space Telescope image released on June 12, 2026, features the galaxy cluster MACS0329-0211. Galaxy clusters like MACS0329-0211 are important signposts in the story of how the structure of the universe evolved, and are the ultimate telescopic lenses, placingContinue reading “Hubble Sees Swarm of Galaxies”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY One well-done gas giant, coming right up! That’s the latest from researchers analyzing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s observations of HD 80606 b, an exoplanet four times the mass of Jupiter with an extremely elliptical orbit that sweeps close by its Sun-like star. The research team is presenting their studyContinue reading “NASA’s Webb Catches Exoplanet Getting Roasted”

official news from : https://bit.ly/2QkyIbY Description NASA astronaut Jessica Meir inspects optical fibers while installing hardware updates to the agency’s Cold Atom Lab, or CAL, aboard the International Space Station on May 8, 2026. About the size of a minifridge and operated from Earth, CAL chills atoms to temperatures below minus 459 degrees Fahrenheit (minusContinue reading “Astronaut Jessica Meir Assists With Hardware Updates for NASA’s Cold Atom Lab”
