12 de ene. de 2021 · Stars and Galaxies Research at JPL. The nighttime sky is magical. The dark curtain sprinkled with tiny dots of light has inspired songs, sparked romances, and prompted humans through the ages to gaze at the twinkling scene overhead and wonder what’s out there and what it all means. Some of those humans are scientists and engineers at JPL, who ...

12 de jul. de 2023 · Some stars in the image display telltale shadows indicating protoplanetary disks – potential future planetary systems in the making. A Full Year, Across the Full Sky From its very first deep field image , unveiled by President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Nelson live at the White House, Webb has delivered on its promise to show us more of the universe than ever before.
July 12, 2022. One of the first images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, this landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” speckled with glittering stars is actually the edge of a nearby young star-forming region called NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula.

The focus of the new study is an event called AT2021ehb, which took place in a galaxy with a central black hole about 10 million times the mass of our Sun (about the difference between a bowling ball and the Titanic).
The first stars formed maybe a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, and the peak of star formation occurred after 3 or 4 billion years. Galaxies are giant collections of stars and dark matter. Less than 10% of all the baryons (protons, neutrons, electrons — the kind of matter stars and we are made of) wind up in stars.
NASA's Kepler mission has made the first unambiguous detection of a circumbinary planet -- a planet orbiting two stars -- 200 light-years from Earth. Unlike Star Wars' Tatooine, the planet is cold, gaseous and not thought to harbor life, but its discovery demonstrates the diversity of planets in our galaxy. Previous research has hinted at the ...

Heartbeat stars got their name because if you were to map out their brightness over time, the result looks like an electrocardiogram, a graph of the electrical activity of the heart.
Neutron stars, or cores leftover from exploded stars, are some of the densest objects in the universe. There are several types of neutron stars, including magnetars and pulsars. NuSTAR is a Small Explorer mission led by Caltech in Pasadena and managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, also in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate ...
6 de mar. de 2009 · The mission began new types of research as well, such as the study of objects within our solar system, exploded stars, and distant supermassive black holes at the hearts of galaxies. After nine years in deep space collecting data that indicate our sky to be filled with billions of hidden planets - more planets even than stars - NASA's Kepler space telescope has run out of fuel needed for ...
