On the night of Oct. 5, 1923, Edwin Hubble observed a strange star that flickered in intensity at regular intervals. The star ...

Hubble has captured a striking new image of NGC 2775, a galaxy that defies easy classification. Blending features of spirals, ellipticals, and lenticulars, its puzzling structure may be the result of ...

NGC 2775 has features of both spiral and elliptical galaxies. Astronomers have long sorted galaxies into types based on their visible structure. Spiral galaxies, like our Milky Way, have a flat disk, ...

Hubble's sharp resolution allows observers to pore over the galaxy's details, showing that it has traits of both spiral and elliptical galaxies. Its core appears unusually smooth and gas-poor, traits ...

On the night of Oct. 5 to 6, 1923, Edwin Hubble discovered a new star — and revealed the utter vastness of the universe. Hubble was looking at the cosmos with the 100-inch Hooker telescope at the ...

In October 1923, Edwin Hubble utilized the 100-inch Hooker telescope to photograph the Andromeda Nebula, identifying a variable star within it. Hubble applied the known period-luminosity relationship ...

NGC 6951 shines 70 million light-years away, its spiral arms feeding a brilliant central starburst ring bursting with new ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have charted billions of years of galactic evolution, and found that ...

This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features a galaxy that's hard to categorize. The galaxy in question is NGC 2775, which lies 67 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer (the Crab ...

Researchers from The University of Western Australia node at the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) ...

For decades, scientists engaged in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) have probed the galaxy for signs of artificial radio transmissions. Beginning with Project Ozma in 1960, ...
