NASA’s Voyager spacecraft has entered interstellar space, marking the first active probe to do so. The announcement was made Sept. 12, 2013. Image Credit: NASA NASA announced today under much fanfare that the agency’s Voyager 1 spacecraft, which launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station over three decades ago, has entered interstellar space, […] The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged what appears to be more than 160,000 star clusters in a group of galaxies known as Abell 1689. Image Credit: NASA, ESA, J. Blakeslee (NRC Herzberg Astrophysics Program, Dominion Astrophysical Observatory), and K. Alamo-Martinez (National Autonomous University of Mexico). On a day which yielded another historic announcement […] [youtube_video]http://youtu.be/6qr_0K7UPas[/youtube_video] Video courtesy of NASA In an effort to understand how black holes shape the evolution of galaxies, astronomers spent eight months creating a series of time-lapse movies from 400 observations made by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The movies, taken from observations conducted over a 13-year period from 1995-2008, show a […] The Voyager 1 spacecraft has entered into a region of space known as the “magnetic highway.” It is one step closer to reaching interstellar space; but it still has a ways to go. Image Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech With a topic as complex as space exploration, confusion sometimes follows. Such has been the […] The Ring Nebula, with its dying progenitor star clearly visible. Photo Credit: NASA New data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Herschel Space Observatory have provided new insights into the shape and structure of the far-off Ring Nebula—whose fate has important ramifications for the future of our own Sun—and may have begun […] It turns out that the moons of the outer solar system are shaping up to be some of the most dynamic destinations in terms of planetary exploration. Image Credit: NASA / JPL Far from the warm inner regions of the solar system, in orbit around the great gas giants are moons full of […] Image Credit: European Space Agency WASHINGTON — The Herschel Observatory, a European space telescope for which NASA helped build instruments and process data, has stopped making observations after running out of liquid coolant as expected.
