 astronomers discovered rings around Uranus! Astronomers had long suspected that Uranus has rings, but the actual discovery happened by accident. A team of three astronomers was using NASA's Kuiper Airborne Observatory to observe the atmosphere of Uranus.   Uranus depicting its pair of rings.

Seeing how the light from that star changes when it passed through the atmosphere could yield clues about the composition of Uranus.  To their surprise, the star began to flicker before it was even e...

The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares, and which is colorized in orange. Credit: NASA/SDO The Sun emitted a strong (X-class) solar flare, peaking at 12:52 p.m. EST on March 3, 2023. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event. Solar flares are massive explosions that occur on the surface of the Sun, unleashing tremendous amounts of energy that can cause significant disruptions in various technological systems on Earth. These powerful bursts of energy can cause disturbances in the Earth’s ionosphere, leading to interference with high-frequency (HF) radio communications...

Nasa  spiral galaxy with large, faint, reddish arms, and a bright, reddish core over two brighter blue spiral arms. They hold patches of star formation that form long trails down, resembling tendrils. Larger elliptical galaxy in lower-left corner. A “jellyfish galaxy” with trailing tentacles of stars hangs in inky blackness in this image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. As jellyfish galaxies move through intergalactic space, gas is slowly stripped away forming trails that resemble tendrils illuminated by clumps of star formation. These blue tendrils are visible below the core of this galaxy, giving it a jellyfish-like appearance. This particular jellyfish galaxy – known as JO201 – lies in the constellation Cetus, which is named after a sea monster from ancient Greek mythology. This sea-monster-themed constellation adds to the nautical theme of this image. The tendrils of jellyfish galaxies extend beyond the bright disk of the galaxy’s core. This particular obse...
