Now here's a shocker from out of nowhere--Pluto, that planet that was formerly a planet but is now merely just a dwarf planet, is apparently changing color. Sure, it may look like a yellow-orange speck out in the distance to us, and with a whole lot of gray shot through it besides, but according to researchers ...
It's been a while since we last talked about anything that came out of the Hubble's memory banks, folks, so this is definitely an awesome slice of news. Remember how we were saying before that Hubble's range was pretty much reaching the limit by grabbing stuff that started a billion years after the "big bang"? ...
Seriously! I really think it is, because the last time I heard about astronomical units of measure like this I was watching Star Trek! Anyway, news out today says that the Hubble's actually picked up some of the oldest galaxies ever seen. And by any decent standard, these are monstrously old. How old? Their age is ...
What you're looking at there is one of those fantastic picture that the Hubble keeps bringing back in an absolute superabundance, this one of the Iris Nebula. The Iris Nebula, relative to us, is really, really far. Basically, if you stood on earth and shot a flashlight beam in the direction of the Iris Nebula, ...
So here's an interesting bit of news for you this fine morning, folks--seems that there are some folks out there who think that the Hubble telescope, among others, is contributing to making life as we know it MEANINGLESS. They're calling them "life-shrinkers", and some folks think that, by talking about the universe at large, showing us ...
Wow...this is just a really unbelievable picture here. Bringing together data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, what you're looking at at right is a picture of two supermassive black holes only three thousand light years apart. But what astronomers THINK we're looking at is the joining together of two black holes ...
It's a fitting sendoff to the Hubble, once regarded as the laughingstock of technology circles, recently spectacularly vindicated when it brought back a slew of data on the various astronomical phenomenon out there. It will be getting its very own 3-D IMax movie, slated to be called "Hubble 3D" Hubble 3D will include history and assorted ...
Another one of the great pictures brought back by the former intergalactic laughingstock known as the Hubble space telescope is this amazing shot of the so-called Pillars of Creation. Best described as a "star factory", each of these mammoth pillars of hydrogen and dust measures light years in length (a light year is not a measure ...
