On January 3, NASA closed the library at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, the largest research library in the agency. The closure

A Dead Star's Ghostly Glow by Linda Howes - NASA

Researchers using NASA’s Hubble discovered the magnetar called SGR 0501+4516 is traversing our galaxy from an unknown place of origin.

This Hubble image features the flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 2775, which lies 67 million light-years away in the constellation Cancer.

This is a sparkling scene of star birth captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. What appears to be a craggy, starlit mountaintop kissed by wispy clouds is actually a cosmic dust-scape being eaten away by the blistering winds and radiation of nearby, massive, infant stars. Called Pismis 24, this young star cluster resides in […] The post Glittering Glimpse of Star Birth From NASA’s Webb Telescope first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

KEY POINTS On its record-breaking pass by the Sun late last year, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe captured stunning new images from within the Sun’s atmosphere. These newly released images — taken closer to the Sun than we’ve ever been before — are helping scientists better understand the Sun’s influence across the solar system, including events […] The post NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Snaps Closest-Ever Images to Sun first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

Craving an ice cream sundae with a cherry on top? This random alignment of Herbig-Haro 49/50 — a frothy-looking outflow from a nearby protostar — with a multi-hued spiral galaxy may do the trick. This new composite image combining observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) provides a […] The post NASA’s Webb Telescope Unmasks True Nature of the Cosmic Tornado first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

As part of ESA/Hubble’s 35th anniversary celebrations, the European Space Agency (ESA) is sharing a new image series revisiting stunning, previously released Hubble targets with the addition of the latest Hubble data and new processing techniques. New images of NGC 346 and the Sombrero Galaxy have already been published. Now, ESA/Hubble is revisiting the Eagle Nebula […] The post Hubble Spies Cosmic Pillar in Eagle Nebula first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

One year ago today, a total solar eclipse swept across the United States. The event was a cornerstone moment in the Heliophysics Big Year, a global celebration of the Sun’s influence on Earth and the entire solar system. From October 2023 to December 2024 — a period encompassing two solar eclipses across the U.S., two […] The post Eclipses, Science, NASA Firsts: Heliophysics Big Year Highlights  first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

Gas and dust ejected by a dying star at the heart of NGC 1514 came into complete focus thanks to mid-infrared data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Its rings, which are only detected in infrared light, now look like “fuzzy” clumps arranged in tangled patterns, and a network of clearer holes close to the […] The post With NASA’s Webb, Dying Star’s Energetic Display Comes Into Full Focus first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

As part of ESA/Hubble’s 35th anniversary celebrations, ESA is sharing a new image series revisiting stunning, previously released Hubble targets with the addition of the latest Hubble data and new processing techniques. This new image showcases the dazzling young star cluster NGC 346. Although both the James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble have released images […] The post Hubble Spots Stellar Sculptors in Nearby Galaxy first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

On March 18, NASA’s IMAP (Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe) arrived at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, for thermal vacuum testing at the X-ray and Cryogenic Facility, which simulates the harsh conditions of space. The IMAP mission is a modern-day celestial cartographer that will map the solar system by studying the heliosphere, a […] The post NASA’s IMAP Arrives at NASA Marshall For Testing in XRCF   first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

The highly competitive NASA Hubble Fellowship Program (NHFP) recently named 24 new fellows to its 2025 class. The NHFP fosters excellence and leadership in astrophysics by supporting exceptionally promising and innovative early-career astrophysicists. Over 650 applicants vied for the 2025 fellowships. Each fellowship provides the awardee up to three years of support at a U.S. […] The post NASA Awards Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowships for 2025 first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

Long-sought auroral glow finally emerges under Webb’s powerful gaze For the first time, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured bright auroral activity on Neptune. Auroras occur when energetic particles, often originating from the Sun, become trapped in a planet’s magnetic field and eventually strike the upper atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions creates […] The post NASA’s Webb Captures Neptune’s Auroras For First Time first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

Researchers using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope have discovered the magnetar called SGR 0501+4516 is traversing our galaxy from an unknown place of origin. Researchers say that this runaway magnetar is the likeliest candidate in our Milky Way galaxy for a magnetar that was not born in a supernova explosion as initially predicted. It is so […] The post NASA’s Hubble Tracks a Roaming Magnetar of Unknown Origin first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.

Observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have provided a surprising twist in the narrative surrounding what is believed to be the first star observed in the act of swallowing a planet. The new findings suggest that the star actually did not swell to envelop a planet as previously hypothesized. Instead, Webb’s observations show the […] The post NASA Webb’s Autopsy of Planet Swallowed by Star Yields Surprise first appeared on VibeWire Magazine.
