IC 63 — nicknamed the Ghost Nebula — is about 550 light-years from Earth. The nebula is classified as both a reflection nebula — as it is reflecting the light of a nearby star — and as an emission nebula — as it releases hydrogen-alpha radiation. Both effects are caused by the gigantic star Gamma…
The Large Ultra Violet Optical Intraframed Surveyor (LUVIOR) is the true successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Like the Hubble Space Telescope, this telescope can produce images of the universe in visible light and ultraviolet, infrared and wave bands. The primary mirror of the 15 meter diameter Louvre is six times larger than the mirror…
Water vapor around Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. This amazing phenomenon was discovered by the Hubble Telescope. Ganymede is the largest moon in the Solar System. The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of water vapor in the atmosphere around Jupiter’s moon Ganymede. It has been found that vapor is formed as the ice sheets change from…
From the history of science we can find many revolutions that have changed and corrected human perceptions of the universe. Through Copernicus, a revolution took place that established a heliocentric world instead of a world centered on the earth. Earth was transformed into a small planet orbiting the star Sun. Later, man saw a new…

Astrosat is India’s first space telescope. The telescope can observe everything from distant galaxies to black holes. Launched September 28, 2015. The ASTROSAT, which weighs 1513 kilograms, orbits the equator at a distance of 650 km from Earth. Astrosat controls ISRO’s Mission Operations Complex (MOX) in Bangalore. The astrosatellite has five payloads (observational instruments) capable…
Hubble Ultra Deep Field is located in the constellation Fornax, southwest of the Sabbath. This part is in the southern hemisphere. Hubble Ultra Deep Field The angular area is only 11 square arc minutes. This is equivalent to looking at a 1mm square at a distance of one meter. The film is based on data…
Finally Hubble space telescope can rest
This area is known as the “Pillars of Creation” in the Eagle NebulaIt is the birthplace of many stars.One of the most famous and analyzed astronomical objects is the Eagle Nebula. This nebula is also known as Messier 16 or M16, NGC6611, Star Queen Nebula and The Spire. The nebula is a group of younger…
