Hubble Examines a Barred Spiral’s Light
This NASAESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the barred spiral galaxy NGC 3059, which lies about 57 million light-years from Earth. Hubbles Wide Field Camera 3 collected the data in May 2024 as part of an observing program that studied a number of galaxies. All of the observations used the same range of filters: partially . https://science.nasa.gov/m...#nasa #space #news #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_galaxies #nasa_missions #nasa_spiral_galaxies #nasa_the_universe #nasa_exoplanet_science #nasa_exoplanets #nasa_planetary_nebulae #nasa_planetary_science #nasa_planets #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_studying_exoplanets #nasa_apollo_14 #nasa_artemis_1 #nasa_artemis_2 #nasa_christina_h ._koch #nasa_g ._reid_wiseman #nasa_victor_j ._glover #nasa_blogs #nasa_earth #nasa_general

Webb Finds Plethora of Carbon Molecules Around Young Star
An international team of astronomers has used NASAs James Webb Space Telescope to study the disk of gas and dust around a young, very low-mass star. The results reveal the largest number of carbon-containing molecules seen to date in such a disk. These findings have implications for the potential composition of any planets that might . https://science.nasa.gov/m...#nasa #space #news #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_exoplanet_science #nasa_exoplanets #nasa_missions #nasa_planetary_nebulae #nasa_planetary_science #nasa_planets #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_studying_exoplanets #nasa_apollo_14 #nasa_artemis_1 #nasa_artemis_2 #nasa_christina_h ._koch #nasa_g ._reid_wiseman #nasa_victor_j ._glover #nasa_blogs #nasa_earth #nasa_general
