Hubble Telescope Captures Europa Spouting Water Vapor!

Hubble Telescope Captures Europa Spouting Water Vapor!

Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, has an icy moon called Europa. For long time, NASA researchers have suspected that Europa contains liquid water underneath its top layer of ice. Lately, NASA’s Hubble space telescope has captured some images of Europa showing the moon spouting a possible water vapor which went 200 kilometers (about 125 miles) above the surface from its south pole.

Hubble Images Show Ring Nebula Is A ‘Football-shaped Jelly Doughnut’

Hubble Images Show Ring Nebula Is A ‘Football-shaped Jelly Doughnut’

For long time, scientists, researchers and astronomers have thought that Ring nebula, an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other gases, is shaped like a bagel. But the latest images captured by NASA’s Hubble space telescope reveal that it looks more like a jelly doughnut because it’s filled with ‘material in the middle.’

Hubble Space Telescope Captured Stunning Image Of Horsehead Nebula

Hubble Space Telescope Captured Stunning Image Of Horsehead Nebula

The Hubble space telescope has been in orbit for 23 years. Within this long time, Hubble space telescope has captured many stunning images like Saturn’s Aurorae during Equinox, Messier’s ancient stars and many more. Recently, the Hubble space telescope has photographed the Horsehead Nebula, which is a dark nebula in the constellation Orion in infrared wavelengths against the backdrop of the Milky Way.

Hubble’s New XDF Image, 10 Years In The Making, 13.2 Billion Years In Time

Hubble’s New XDF Image, 10 Years In The Making, 13.2 Billion Years In Time

Before Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990, astronomers could barely see galaxies up to 7 billion light-years away. Observations with telescopes on the ground were not enough to establish how galaxies formed and evolved in the early universe. But, after Hubble was sent to space, it merged itself into exploring space. It started to capture photographs of distant galaxies over times. Recently, NASA has published an eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) image by combining 2,000 images captured by Hubble space telescope.

Messier’s Ancient Stars Finally Captured By Hubble Telescope

Recently, NASA’s/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a collection of ancient stars of the globular cluster Messier 56 (also known as M 56 or NGC 6779). The cluster is 33,000 light years away from Earth, and believed to be a nebula without any star when it was first discovered in 1779.

NRO Donates Two Military Spy Telescopes To NASA – Powerful Than Hubble

NRO Donates Two Military Spy Telescopes To NASA – Powerful Than Hubble

It’s been a rough year for NASA’s science program, with a major pullback in its Mars exploration program and continuing threats to cancel the James Webb Space Telescope. NASA was worried about the budget of the James Webb Space Telescope which is supposed to take the place of Hubble Space Telescope. The agency also has plans for a Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) which is supposed to be used for searching extra-solar planets and study “dark energy”. But the agency’s tight budget was pulling it backward’s in realizing the goals. Seems they now have an occasion to pop champagne bottles (that NASA claim they never do because of tight budgets). The civilian space agency has got not one but two gifts from the U.S. space intelligence agency the National Reconnaissance Office – two former spy telescopes more powerful than the Hubble telescope.
