Scientists Discover Ocean Planet with Possibility of Life
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Scientists have been exploring planets, stars, and other celestial bodies for as far back as anyone can remember. They frequently use ground-based equipment including optical telescopes and space-based equipment, like the Hubble Space Telescope, to make new discoveries.
Largest-Ever Image of Andromeda Galaxy ‘Extraordinarily Beautiful’
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The "largest-ever" image assembled of the Andromeda galaxy by the Hubble Space Telescope was shared by NASA on Sunday. The picture was captured seven years ago and it is the sharpest large composite image ever taken of our galactic neighbor.
Unusual Wrinkle Identified in Expansion Rate of Universe
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Measuring the expansion rate of the universe was one of the Hubble Space Telescope's main goals when it was launched in 1990.
James Webb Space Telescope Blasts Off on Mission to Find Aliens
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – NASA's revolutionary James Webb Space Telescope successfully lifted off to start its long flight into space to replace the Hubble telescope after decades of planning and delays.
Hubble Image Shows Gravity Bending Light, Magnifying A Distant Galaxy
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – We tend to think that light travels in a straight line, but this is not always the case in our universe, when strong enough, gravity can pull photons of light out of their trajectory.
Hubble Releases Images of Rarely Observed Colliding Galaxies after Monthlong Shutdown
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is back in action after a computer anomaly suddenly shut down the 32-year-old system for a month.
Galaxy’s Lack of Dark Matter Surprises Astronomers
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Back in 2018, astronomers used Hubble to observe a relatively nearby galaxy and found it presented a baffling mystery: It appeared to have little or no dark matter.
Hubble Snaps Radiant Galaxy Lit Up by Very Active Black Hole
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Hubble Space Telescope captured a brilliant image of spiral galaxy NGC 3254, which has a particularly luminescent and active core emitting as much energy as the rest of the galaxy combined.
Hubble Snaps Stunning Photo of Giant Star on Verge of Destruction
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Hubble Space Telescope was launched in 1990 with an expected design life of 15 years, but it’s well past that now.
Hubble Image Shows Big Galaxy Full of Blue Stars
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Imagine a galaxy and what comes to mind likely looks like NGC 2336, a shimmering swirl of stars.
Dark Storm on Neptune Mysteriously Reverses Direction
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope watched a mysterious dark vortex on Neptune abruptly steer away from a likely death on the giant blue planet.
Hubble Space Telescope Makes Surprising Find in Early Universe
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – New results from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope suggest the formation of the first stars and galaxies in the early Universe took place sooner than previously thought.
Long-Lost Type of Dark Matter May Resolve Hubble Tension Mystery
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – One of the deepest mysteries in physics, known as the Hubble tension, could be explained by a long-since vanished form of dark matter.
Celestial Object Breaks Laws of Physics, Puts Einstein’s Theories into Question
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – A NASA scientist questioned whether Albert Einstein’s theories over space were inaccurate after the Hubble telescope recorded an object travelling five times the speed of light, archive documentary footage reveals.
Supermassive Black Holes on Collision Course Discovered 2.5 Billion Light Years Away
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Using images obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope, a US collaboration of astronomers have detected two supermassive black holes on a collision course, 2.5 billion light years from Earth.
Universe Expanding Faster Than Expected
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - New measurements from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope confirm that the Universe is expanding about 9% faster than expected based on its trajectory seen shortly after the big bang, astronomers say.
Hubble Space Telescope Has Update on Uranus, Neptune’s Weather
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – If you don't like your local weather, perhaps you would prefer the atmosphere on Uranus or Neptune — and the Hubble Space Telescope has an update on each planet's current conditions.
Hubble Telescope’s Images Show What Happens When Galaxies Collide
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Scientists have managed to capture, for the first time, a series of images showing what happens when galaxies collide and merge together, causing a massive explosion and supermassive black holes uniting to form one giant black hole.
