How can Hubble see distant galaxies clearly, but not Pluto?
Hubble has taken some spectacular images of many different galaxies, but it can't resolve more than a few blobs on Pluto's surface. Why is that?

Hitomi Measures Perseus Galaxy Cluster's X-ray Winds
Measurements of unprecedented detail returned by Japan's Hitomi satellite have allowed scientists to track the motion of X-ray-emitting gas at the heart of the Perseus cluster of galaxies for the first time. The results showcase the...

NASA | Turning Black Holes into Dark Matter Labs
A new computer simulation tracking dark matter particles in the extreme gravity of a black hole shows that strong, potentially observable gamma-ray light can be produced. Detecting this emission would provide astronomers with a new tool...

Hubble Views Galaxy Lacking Dark Matter
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took an image of a bizarre, ghostly looking galaxy called NGC 1052-DF2 that astronomers calculate to have little to no dark matter. This is the first galaxy astronomers have discovered to be so lacking in...

Hubble Detects a Rogue Supermassive Black Hole
The Hubble Space Telescope captured an image of a quasar named 3C 186 that is offset from the center of its galaxy. Astronomers hypothesize that this supermassive black hole was jettisoned from the center of its galaxy by the recoil from...

Exploring the Past: The Fascinating Concept of Light Years
In this video, we explore the concept of how telescopes allow us to see objects that are light years away, giving us a glimpse into the past. By understanding how light reflects off objects and travels to our eyes, we can comprehend how...

The End of the Universe: Hot or Cold?
We've talked at great length about the beginning of the universe, everything we know, and what we don't yet know. But everything that has a beginning must have an end. How will the universe end? How can we tell? When will it happen?...

NASA | Astronomers Uncover a Surprising Trend in Galaxy Evolution
A study of 544 star-forming galaxies observed by the Keck and Hubble telescopes shows that disk galaxies like our own Milky Way unexpectedly reached their current state long after much of the universe's star formation had ceased. Over...
