Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery about Uranus' rotation using decades of data from the Hubble Space Telescope, resolving a long-standing mystery surrounding the planet's magnetic field.
A decade of Hubble observations reveals Uranus takes 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds to rotate. This new data, 28 seconds longer than previous estimates, may reshape our understanding of the ice giant's geography and future missions.
On its 35th anniversary, the Hubble Space Telescope reveals a breathtaking image of NGC 346, a bustling star-forming region in the Small Magellanic Cloud, shedding light on early universe conditions and stellar dynamics.
A newly identified trio in the Kuiper Belt may rewrite our understanding of cosmic formation, suggesting these icy bodies formed via gravitational collapse rather than collisions. This discovery could lead to more hidden systems being uncovered.
NASA's Hubble reveals a stunning 3D map of Andromeda's satellite galaxies, challenging our understanding of galaxy formation and hinting at a tumultuous cosmic history of collisions and star formation.
