The Ghost Nebula

February 13, 2022

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…

‘Hubble Views’

February 9, 2022

The best pictures of space!We are all excited about the arrival of James Webb, but let’s not forget that Hubble has gifted us with some of the best portraits of space.These stunning original images of the universe include: the Sombrero galaxy (infrared), the ring nebula, the spiral galaxy NGC 1566, the NGC 5195, the Veil…

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

February 7, 2022

Work on the project began in 2010. The Infrared Observatory, like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), aims to gather evidence of primitive light by looking into the maximum distance of the RST universe. However, the main purpose of the Roman Space Telescope was to study dark energy, or dark energy, and distant planets.The glass…

Home at last

January 29, 2022

Webb finally arrived at his new home, L2. The last refueling was done on January 24 or yesterday and was shifted to that point. It was a moment that everyone at NASA feared. This is because you need to speed up a bike to the top of the mountain and brake and stop quickly before…

One of the Veil Nebula captured by the Hubble telescope can travel.

January 23, 2022

It shows the remains of a star that exploded thousands of years ago! The entire nebula is about 110 light-years across, showing only a small fraction of it.

Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT)

January 18, 2022

When completed in 2029, the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will be the world’s largest optical telescope capable of taking pictures of the universe with 10 times the resolution of the Hubble Telescope. It is being built at the Los Campanas Observatory in Chile at a cost of $ 1 billion. It has 7 primary mirrors…

James Webb spread his wings at a distance of 800,000 km

January 5, 2022

The world-famous James Webb Space Telescope has successfully reached 800,000 km from Earth. The spacecraft deployed its sunshade last week; But the engineers delayed the alignment of the covers, which stretched the five layers to their full position. This is now possible. This is one of the most crucial stages of this. All you have…

The Light machine

January 1, 2022

Let’s look at the actual size of James Webb. The size of the gold-plated beryllium glass is 6.5 m. The five-layer sun shield (21×14 m) below it is about the size of a tennis court. Then you see the size of the picture, the James Webb Telescope weighing 6500 kg, as he spreads his wings…

Thanks Kepler

December 30, 2021

Kepler was a deep space telescope orbiting the Sun at a distance of 3 million kilometers from Earth. We were not sure if there were any planets outside the Solar System. Since then, and running out of fuel in 2018, its photometer has shown us about 2,600 aliens. There are a number of hellish planets…
