31 oct. 2024 · NASA’s SPHEREx mission won’t be the first space telescope to observe hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies when it launches no later than April 2025, but it will be the first to observe them in 102 colors. Although these colors aren’t visible to the human eye because they’re in the infrared range, scientists will use them to learn ...

31 oct. 2024 · Larger areas of stars are known as super star clusters. Look for examples of these in the top-most spiral arm that wraps above the larger galaxy and points left. Other bright regions in the galaxies are mini-starbursts — locations where many stars form in quick succession. Additionally, the top and bottom “eyelid” of IC 2163, the smaller ...

12 juil. 2023 · Some stars in the image display telltale shadows indicating protoplanetary disks – potential future planetary systems in the making. A Full Year, Across the Full Sky From its very first deep field image , unveiled by President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Nelson live at the White House, Webb has delivered on its promise to show us more of the universe than ever before.
24 mars 2014 · In Spitzer's mosaic, light from stars throughout the galaxy -- which stretches 100,000 light-years across -- shines through. This picture covers only about three percent of the sky, but includes more than half of the galaxy's stars and the majority of its star formation activity. The red color shows dusty areas of star formation. Throughout the ...
2 juil. 2024 · Its stars are located at a distance of about 1000 light years from us, and they formed about 200 million years ago. The cluster was discovered by Greek-Roman astronomer Ptolemy in the year 130, hence its other name. M6 is about half the apparent size of M7, and contains fewer stars. It's also a bit farther away from us, at around 1600 light ...
