NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope took this image of the California Nebula on January 25, 2020, five days before the spacecraft was decommissioned. The red and…
Artist’s conception of a brown dwarf and its magnetic field. The magnetic field, rooted deep in its interior, rotates at a different rate than the…
The path of a light beam is bent by the presence of mass, as explained by General Relativity. A massive body can therefore act like…
NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope has concluded after more than 16 years of exploring the universe in infrared light. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope Ends…
Artist’s rendering of a “hot Jupiter” called KELT-9b, the hottest known exoplanet – so hot, a new paper finds, that even molecules in its atmosphere…
TOI 700, a planetary system 100 light-years away in the constellation Dorado, is home to TOI 700 d, the first Earth-size habitable-zone planet discovered by…
This new multiwavelength image of the Crab Nebula combines X-ray light from the Chandra X-ray Observatory (in blue) with visible light from the Hubble Space…
A collection of gas and dust over 500 light-years across, the Perseus Molecular Cloud hosts an abundance of young stars. It was imaged here by…
This infrared image from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope shows a cloud of gas and dust carved out by a massive star. A drawing overlaid on…
This cloud of gas and dust in space is full of bubbles inflated by wind and radiation from massive young stars. Each bubble is about…
This artist’s illustration shows the theoretical internal structure of the exoplanet GJ 3470 b. It is unlike any planet found in the Solar System. Weighing…
A mosaic by NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope of the Cepheus C and Cepheus B regions. This image combines data from Spitzer’s IRAC and MIPS instruments.…
This deep-field view of the sky (center) taken by NASA’s Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes is dominated by galaxies — including some very faint, very…
An IRAC/Spitzer Space Telescope infrared image of the center of our galaxy. The infrared penetrates much of the dust to reveal the stars of the…
