That alone is a massive step towards helping us explore other worlds and could allow James Webb to learn more about planets than we have ever been able to before. The cluster of stars is surrounded by clouds of interstellar gas and dust the raw materials for the creation of new stars, NASA said. According to NASA, its about 12 billion years old. This Hubble image shows Caldwell 81, also known as NGC 6352. This includes Messier 28, pictured here which, ironically, is actually a star cluster. Youre probably getting pretty good at spotting globular star clusters by now. This includes announcements that James Webb discovered carbon dioxide on an exoplanet. He classified many objects as diverse as star clusters and supernova remnants as nebulas.

Pictured here is a particularly deep image of the Hyades which has brings out vivid star colors and faint coincidental nebulas. The Hyades open cluster is bright enough to have been remarked on even thousands of years ago, yet is not as bright or compact as the nearby Pleiades (M45) star cluster. You can check out the post and other images captured by NASA’s spacecraft on the official NASA Instagram page.Īdditionally, NASA has continued to share insights into the work that Hubble and James Webb are capturing. It is the closest cluster of stars to the Sun. This new Hubble star cluster image proves that the aging telescope is still up to the tasks ahead of it and that it, along with the James Webb space telescope, has so much more to show us about our universe.

Hubble also captured this image of a cluster of stars. We stand upon the shoulders of giants-to go farther than humanity has ever been.” A call out to all the astronomers and scientists who have helped make our space exploration efforts so far a huge success. of Washington), the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) team, and R.When NASA shared the image, it wrote in the caption for the post, “We salute the pioneers, the star-sailors, the thinkers, the visionaries, the doers. > More: Hubble’s High-Definition Panoramic View of the Andromeda Galaxy STScI is operated for NASA by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc., in Washington. The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore conducts Hubble science operations. Roughly 150 globular clusters orbit the Milky Way many of those, including NGC 6397, are older than the rest of our galaxy. NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, manages the telescope. The globular cluster NGC 6397 contains around 400,000 stars, as seen in this image by NASAs Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope is a project of international cooperation between NASA and the European Space Agency. Most of the stars in the universe live inside such majestic star cities, and this is the first data that reveal populations of stars in context to their home galaxy. Never before have astronomers been able to see individual stars inside an external spiral galaxy over such a large contiguous area. This ambitious photographic cartography of the Andromeda galaxy represents a new benchmark for precision studies of large spiral galaxies that dominate the universe’s population of over 100 billion galaxies. And there are lots of stars in this sweeping view - over 100 million, with some of them in thousands of star clusters seen embedded in the disk. It’s like photographing a beach and resolving individual grains of sand. Though the galaxy is over 2 million light-years away, the Hubble Space Telescope is powerful enough to resolve individual stars in a 61,000-light-year-long stretch of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disk.

The largest NASA Hubble Space Telescope image ever assembled, this sweeping bird’s-eye view of a portion of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) is the sharpest large composite image ever taken of our galactic next-door neighbor. Not much more to say about this other than that. Nasa called the images 'a treasure trove of cosmic delights' Nasa has revealed some new images from its Chandra telescope, and they are incredible.
