- Another view of NGC 4689

https://www.universomagico.net/2024/05/otra-vista-de-ngc-4689.html

This image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope shows spiral galaxy NGC 4689. Resembling a cosmic fingerprint, this galaxy exhibits spiral arms branching in all directions, classifying it as a foculating spiral. Its position facing us offers astronomers an almost perfect view to study its structure in detail. The disk contains dense regions of gas, dust and.....

For the first time ever, astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope may have discovered three of the universe’s earliest galaxies. In a new study, researchers reported the possible detection of three infant galaxies sprouting from a primordial cloud of hydrogen and helium gas just 400 to 600 million years after the Big Bang.

Exciting space-discovery alert!

Gliese 12 b is an Earth-size planet orbiting in the temperate zone around a nearby, stable red dwarf star. It's a Rosetta Stone world that will tell us a lot about how many superficially earthlike planets actually have the right conditions for life.

Are we rare? Are we common? Let's find out.

Martian Cartography

Here is a 360° panorama captured by Curiosity at her current location, with North at center and South at both ends, on top of two large and small scale maps with her position.

There are many geological features in the panorama, can you find them in the maps?

A potentially habitable exoplanet that is roughly similar in size to Earth has been found in a system located 40 light-years away, according to a new study.

The planet is about the size of Venus, so slightly smaller than Earth, and may be temperate enough to support life, the researchers said.

Dubbed Gliese 12 b, the planet takes 12.8 days to orbit a star that is 27% of the sun’s size. It’s not yet known whether the exoplanet has an atmosphere

Another ~25m and will be out of t̵h̵e̵ ̵w̵o̵o̵d̵s̵ the regolith ripple field and in the mostly flat part of the Neretva Vallis riverbed.

Tosol's ~17m drive brought the rover right where those ripples start. The dark area is where will be hidden from our remote prying eyes.

- PN K 1-16 by Jerry Yesavage

https://www.universomagico.net/2024/05/pn-k-1-16-por-jerry-yesavage.html

The image by astronomer Jerome Yesavage shows a low surface brightness planetary nebula cataloged as PN Kohoutek 1-16, located in the direction of the Draco Constellation and located at a distance of about 3,400 light years from the Solar System. The central star is a very hot pulsating star called DS Dra, it has a magnitude of 14.96 and is of spectral type.....

I'm still working on some updates for it, and as such it's still isn't perfect. But if you are interested in a simple Newtonian arcade space shooter, my game Flank Speed is available on Steam. Kind of a modern take on the classic game "Space War". With multiplayer in the works.

We have the first science images from the ESA’s Euclid telescope and they are STUNNING. Euclid can take detailed photos with a wide field of view. Here’s a breakdown of what you’re looking at and why it’s important.

UC Santa Cruz researchers contributed to new studies out this week that enhance our understanding of exoplanets.

The first catalogs 126 exoplanets discovered detailing diverse planet types.

A second set, investigates "puffy" exoplanets like WASP-107b attributing their puffiness to tidal heating.

This research broadens our knowledge of exoplanet characteristics and formation.
