Hubble’s Inside the Image: The Bubble Nebula - YouTube - NASA Goddard - astrophysics

NASA Goddard material augmented by Andrew Taylor*The Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635) is in the constellation Cassiopeia and about 7100 light years from Earth,so is right next door.It has a massive hot star at its center and was created by the intense winds of this star throwing off its own material.The star is large enough that it will become a supernova in tens of millions of years.It is an H II Region Emission Nebula.The star is designated SAO 205 75.NGC 7635 was discovered by the German-British astronomer and composer William Herschel.Born in Hanover electorate,he emigrated to Great Britain at the age of 19.He frequently collaborated with his younger sister,the astronomer Caroline Herschel.He was the discoverer of Uranus and infrared radiation.*Dr.Kenneth G. Carpenter,an astrophysicist,is the Hubble Space Telescope Operations Scientist and Roman Space Telescope Ground System Scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt,Maryland.He is a member of the Exoplanets and Stellar Astrophysics Laboratory at NASA Goddard.

Hubble Finds New Evidence for Intermediate-Mass Black Hole in Omega Centauri - YouTube - NASA Goddard - astrophysics

Intermdiate-mass black holes are a long sought missing link in black hole evolution.They are smaller than supermassive black holes,but larger than stellar mass black holes,formed by the collapse of massive stars.Only a few candidates have been found to date.*A team astronomers analyzed over 500 images from 20 years of NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope observations to find evidence of an intermediate-range blsck hole by tracking seven fast-moving starsin Omega Centauri.The Omega Cantauri globular cluster is in the constellarion Centaurus at a distabce of 17,090 light years from Earth.It is the largest-known globular cluster in our Milky Way galaxy at a diameter of about 150 light years.*Text by NASA/Goddard and edited by Andrew Taylor

NASA Hubble Operations Update - YouTube - astrophysics/planetary science - audio only

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has been a highly valued source of astrophysics and planetary science data and is expected to continue as such until at least the mid-2030s.It has studied galactic evolution,exoplanet atmospheres and space weather on the planets.A commercial reboost/servicing mission is under study. Participants in the teleconference include:Mark Clampin,director,Astrophysics Division,Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington;Patrick Crouse,project manager,Hubble Space Telescope,NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center,Greenbelt,Maryland.*Space weather includes meterological phenomena such as storms,ice formations and seasonal change;aurorae and volcanoes.Ice formations can be evidence of subsurface oceans.

Exploring Planet Uranus - YouTube - NASA Goddard - planetary science

The first,and so far only,space probe to visit Uranus was Voyager 2 in 1986.It discovered 10 new moons,a faint ring system and a complex magnetosphere.Further observations were made by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope,which imaged the seasons on Uranus.Further observations will be made by the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope.Ground based observatories have observed massive storms on Uranus,an ice giant planet,that last for months or even years.

Practicing Artemis Moonwalks in the Desert on This Week @NASA – May 17, 2024 - NASA Johnson Space Center

1.NASA Astronauts Kate Rubins and Andre Dawson simulated Artemis moonwalk missions in the Arizona desert near Flagstaff.The simulation involved technology demonstrations and hardware checkouts.*The VIPER robot lunar rover recently passed a system readiness test review,clearing it for environmental testing simulating the harshness of space.It will be launched prior to human lunar landings.*The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope zeroed in on a young variable star in the constellation Taurus,HP Tau.The star is part of a three star system.This type of star hasn't begun nuclear fusion yet like our Sun.It is typically less than 10 million years old,while the Sun is about 4.6 billion years old (astrophysics).*The Polar Radiant Energy in the Far Infra Red Experiment (PREFIRE) climate change satellite is slated for lauch no sooner than 22 May 2024.

Moving Roman: Propulsion - YouTube - NASA Goddard - astrophysics/cosmology

The NASA Nancy Grace Roman Infrared Space Telescope is currently under construction.It is named for the visionary astronomer Nancy Grace Roman (1925-2018) who made significant contributions to stellar classification and motions.She was NASA's inaugural Chief Astronomer in the 1960s and 1970s.As such,she was the first female NASA executive.She was instrumental in the planning and development of the Hubble Space Telescope and was one of the key founders of the US civilian space program.In sum,she was a trailblazing scientest.The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is primed for discoveries in astrophysics and cosmology with its Wide Field capabilities.It is slated for launch by May 2027.*Cosmology is the study of the origin and structures of the universe.

Gravitational Waves: Ripples In Space-Time - NASA Goddard - astrophysics

Notes by NASA Goddard:Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of spacetime.They are caused by some of the most violent and energetic events in the universe,including colliding black holes;merging neutron stars or white dwarf stars;the wobble of neutron stars that are not perfect spheres;and possibly even the remnants of gravitational radiation create by the birth of the universe.*Gravitational waves were predicted by Einstein's General Theory of Relativity,but weren't confirmed until 2017.The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope was able to photograph the galactic source of the waves.This opens up a new era of multi-messenger astronomy.

While the outer part of the spot is speeding up,the inner part of the spot is slowing down.It is a mystery.

Using Infrared Light to Survey the Milky Way Galaxy - NASA Goddard - cosmology

Studying our own galaxy is surprisingly difficult.First,because the Milky Way covers such a large portion of the sky that studying it can take a very long time;and second,because Astromomers must peer through thick dust that obscures distant starlight.Infrared light can pass through that dust and is a key tool for learning about the far side of our galaxy. Cosmology is the study of the origin and structures of the universe.
