Hubble finds best evidence for elusive mid-size black hole
New data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have provided the strongest evidence yet for mid-sized black holes in the Universe. Hubble confirms that...
On the Origin of Massive Stars
This scene of stellar creation, captured by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, sits near the outskirts of the famous Tarantula Nebula. This cloud of...
Why our galaxy, the Milky Way, is warped?
Accurately, the study of galactic warps and their dynamic nature could reveal vital information on the formation history of galaxies and the mass distribution...
A star caught emitting an enormous super flare of X-rays
Known by its catalogue number J0331-27, the star called an L dwarf recently caught emitting an enormous ‘superflare’ of X-rays – a dramatic high-energy...
ESO Telescope Sees Surface of Dim Betelgeuse
Using ESO’s Very Large Telescope (VLT), astronomers have captured the unprecedented dimming of Betelgeuse, a red supergiant star in the constellation of Orion. The...
ESA’s Solar Orbiter launched successfully
Solar Orbiter will address big questions in Solar System science to help us understand how our star creates and controls the giant bubble of plasma that surrounds the whole Solar System and influences the planets within it. It is an ESA mission with strong NASA participation.
