Based on the comet's brightness and current distance — it's located just inside Jupiter's orbit — scientists estimate its ...

Scientists have discovered HIP 67522 b, a planet so close to its star that its orbit disturbs the star’s magnetic field, ...

At the aphelion, the distance from the Earth’s center to the Sun’s center is going to be 152,087,738 kilometers (94,502,939 ...

In a groundbreaking study recently published on the arXiv preprint server, researchers have proposed two innovative ...

A view of the spiral galaxy NGC 3982, as seen by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. Galaxies come in many different variations, but astronomers classify them into four main types: spiral, elliptical ...

Type c-D elliptical galaxies are a subtype of giant elliptical galaxies and are characterized by a large halo of stars. Lenticular galaxies are an intermediate galaxy between elliptical galaxies and ...

Galaxy Arp 184, however, we are seeing from an angle, so it looks different. More than that, though, Arp 184 is skewed so that it isn’t perfectly spiral shaped.

If it isn’t a galaxy, then the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy, which lies some 78,000 light-years away, is closest. 16. How can you calculate the magnification of an eyepiece?

But, while most FRBs originate well within their galaxies, the team traced FRB 20240209A to the outskirts of its home — 130,000 lightyears from the galaxy’s center where few other stars exist.

There are also elliptical galaxies, which are large and spherical rather than flat, similar to a rugby ball. The latter don’t produce new stars but are dominated by stars formed more than 10 ...

Galaxies are broadly divided into three groups. You have the spirals like the Milky Way and Andromeda, the irregular galaxies, and the elliptical galaxies. This latter group tends to have the most ...

Here’s how it works. The unusual galaxy NGC 4694 has traits unique to the two main galaxy types, spiral and elliptical.(Image credit: ESA/Hubble & NASA, D. Thilker) ...
