Hubble Studies Gamma-Ray Burst With Highest Energy Ever Seen

Hubble Studies Gamma-Ray Burst With Highest Energy Ever Seen

11.20.2019
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has given astronomers a peek at the location of the most energetic outburst ever seen in the universe — a blast of gamma-rays a trillion times more powerful than visible light. That’s because in a few seconds the gamma-ray burst (GRB) emitted more energy than the Sun will provide over its entire 10-billion year life.

NASA Takes a Cue From Silicon Valley to Hatch Artificial Intelligence Technologies

11.19.2019
Could the same computer algorithms that teach autonomous cars to drive safely help identify nearby asteroids or discover life in the universe? NASA scientists are trying to figure that out by partnering with pioneers in artificial intelligence (AI) to apply advanced computer algorithms to problems in space science.

NASA Scientists Confirm Water Vapor on Europa

NASA Scientists Confirm Water Vapor on Europa

11.18.2019
Scientists have evidence that one of these ingredients, liquid water, is present under the icy surface of Europa, a moon of Jupiter, and may sometimes erupt into space in huge geysers. Now scientists have detected the water vapor for the first time above Europa’s surface.

Hubble Spots a Curious Spiral

Hubble Spots a Curious Spiral

11.15.2019
Many galaxies we see through telescopes such as the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, the source of this beautiful image, look relatively similar: spiraling arms, a glowing center, and a mixture of bright specks of star formation and dark ripples of cosmic dust weaving throughout. This galaxy, a spiral galaxy named NGC 772, is no exception.
