Bright spots of light near a newborn star. Image: ESA / Hubble / NASA, K. Stapelfeldt By Mark Kaufman 2019-02-17 16:19: 53 UTC When a star is born, a chaotic light show follows. NASA's long-lived Hubble Space Telescope has captured living bright lumps moving through the cosmos about 1,000 light years away from Earth. The Space Agency called these objects …

A ghostly green spot is expected to become brighter in the coming days near Orion as the Comet 46P / Wirtanen gets closer to Earth this weekend in 20 years. This fuzzy visitor of ice and rock, just bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, will be well visible by the end of December. NASA has even sponsored …

One or two ghostly dust satellites can orbit the Earth, according to a new study based on a 60-year-old idea. Massive objects attract by gravity. However, if you have several large objects with just the right mass, their mutual gravitational field can cause anomalies – such as gravity points that can keep things stable. Scientists have found objects orbiting in …

Just in time for Halloween, NASA / ESA's Hubble Space Telescope has released a new, highly detailed picture of IC 63, located 550 light-years from Earth in Cassiopeia the Queen, sometimes referred to as Ghost Nebula or Ghost by Cassiopeia , The fog hanging near the bright star Gamma [γ] Cassiopeiae (the central point in the W-shape of the constellation) …

Scientists know about two genetic variants that are associated with blue eyes in some dogs, but they do do not explain the trait in Siberian Huskies. To find the genetic markers responsible for the husky's trait, Embark Veterinary, a canine DNA startup, combed through DNA …

In this spectacular new photograph of NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope, red stripes of energetic gas reddened from an ancient stellar explosion in the cosmos was left behind. This supernova remnant, known as HBH 3, is one of the largest in the Milky Way and measures about 150 light-years. It is also one of the oldest; the star that exploded to …
