SPACEESO presents a celestial feast with the Running Chicken Nebula, showcasing young stars in a stunning 1.5-billion-pixel image from VLT Survey Telescope. Check it out in this article.
The ESO Very Large Telescope shot the 'whirlpool of gold' photo of the starburst galaxy NGC4303 or Messier 61. Check out this mesmerizing photo in this article.
A new black hole has been discovered, and its the closest one to Earth that's been found so far. Astronomers from the Eastern Southern Observatory say that this discovery could just be the 'tip of an exciting iceberg'. Click the link above to learn more.
Stunning super high definition image of Small Magellanic Cloud(SMC) unveils a new secret of this dwarf galaxy. European Southern Observatory's(ESO) VISTA telescope is designed to look inside the cosmic cloud layer of SMC.
European Southern Observatory's powerful telescope discovered that 10 billion years ago star-forming galaxies were dominated by normal matter. Dark matters cannot emit, absorb or reflect light, It could only be observed via its gravitational effects.
This stunning nebula, called RCW 34 and visualized by the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT), is home to young stars that heat gases, causing them to expand outward. In this brightest area of the nebula heated hydrogen bursts into the vacuum outside the gas cloud, "uncorking" the nebula. This kind of process is called a champagne flow, and the entire area provides rich fodder for astronomers as it continuously produces new, brilliant stars.
Astronomers at the European Southern Observatory (ESO) are proudly displaying what is the most detailed image ever captured of the vast planetary nebula, Medusa. And what their powerful telescopes have revealed are the beautiful death throes of a dying star.
Doomed for an end 700 million years in the making, a pair of white dwarf stars will inevitably merge and meet their doom and researchers are saying that the violent fate is unlike any that they’ve seen before.
