New Delhi: NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has reportedly delivered a spectacular image of the spiral galaxy IC 1954, which is located 45 million light-years away in the constellation Horologium.

Although the term space was used to refer to places beyond Earth as early as 1667, in John Milton's Paradise Lost, outer space didn't enter our language until the mid-1800s when it was used in an ...

IC 342 is a big barred spiral galaxy of morphological type SAB(rs)cd. It glows brightly at magnitude 9.1 but has a low surface brightness. This makes it challenging for small telescopes or as a ...

Unlike galaxies with active supermassive black holes, the bright source near NGC 5530’s center is actually a nearby star in ...

NASA’s James Webb space telescope has peered deep into the hearts of nearby spiral galaxies to get a better look at star formation. The new observations are part of a much larger survey where ...

By one count America spends 150 times more on space exploration than ocean research. Scientists have mapped almost every Martian crater but only about 20% of the seabed. Yet interest in the ocean ...

Lower gravity. Higher radiation. No ER access. These are just a few of the challenges that humans face in outer space. Emily and Regina talk to a NASA astronaut (and astronaut scientist) about the ...

This Deep-Space Spiral Galaxy Does Something It Shouldn't. A major feature found in 2MASX J23453268−0449256 is typically only found in elliptical galaxies.
