☆ The Hubble Space Telescope makes a big change to keep observing the universe
  + stars: | 2024-06-07 | by ( Ashley Strickland | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —The Hubble Space Telescope will transition to a new way of operating that aims to prevent the space observatory from experiencing lapses in its ability to observe the universe, according to NASA officials. The storied telescope, which has captured breathtaking images of the cosmos for 34 years, has traditionally operated using six gyroscopes. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope eyes the universe in May 2009 after one of the space shuttle missions to service the space observatory. Hubble is expected to operate into the mid-2030s, with its cosmic observations providing a complement to the work of the James Webb Space Telescope and future observatories that haven’t launched yet, Clampin said. “We do not see Hubble as being on its last legs,” Crouse said, “and we think it’s a very capable observatory.”

☆ NASA's Hubble spots a mysterious flash in the middle of nowhere that defies science

Scientists had previously thought Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients were caused by dying stars. AdvertisementAdvertisementA bright flash of blue light appearing in the middle of seemingly empty space has scientists confused. Scientists previously thought they knew what could cause such a bright burst of energy. That's much too far for a core-collapse supernova to travel. There are a few more hypotheses for what could cause the bright blue flashes.

☆ Elon Musk's Starlink satellites are ruining images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, threatening future science

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is getting more satellites ruining its images, a new study found. Hubble images streaked with white lines show the impact of just one satellite flying through the telescope's field of view. The proportion of Hubble images that look like this is increasing as more satellites fill Earth's orbit, the study found. Hubble peers through a growing 'wall' between us and the universeThe Hubble Space Telescope in Earth's orbit. So far SpaceX has launched more than 3,000 Starlink satellites and plans to eventually maintain up to 42,000 satellites in orbit.
☆ On Pluto you could throw a baseball over the Great Pyramid of Giza, a scientist's animation reveals

An astronomer's animation reveals how far the average person could throw a ball on different worlds. On Pluto, your baseball could clear the Great Pyramid of Giza. Watch a ball throw on each planet in our solar system, plus Pluto and the moon, below. At just two-thirds the diameter of our moon, Pluto has such weak gravity that your baseball could clear the 455-foot-tall Great Pyramid of Giza — with room to spare. The video plays out in "real time," showing how long each ball throw would take, O'Donoghue said.
☆ NASA's Hubble Space Telescope watched a distant star die, explode, and fade away in rare, colorful detail

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a star that exploded and died 11 billion years ago. The three imprints show different colorful stages of the supernova explosion. Hubble watched the star collapse, expell its outer layers in a violent explosion, and then cool. Three different reflections of the supernova, spotted by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The paths had different lengths, so the light arrived at different times, reflecting images from three different stages in the star's death.
☆ The asteroid NASA crashed into looks like a comet now, with a forked tail, Hubble image reveals

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a comet-like forked tail streaming from the asteroid Dimorphos. NASA's DART spacecraft slammed into the asteroid in September, as practice for saving Earth. In fact, it kind of looks like a comet now, NASA discovered when the Hubble Space Telescope snapped a new image of the distant space rock. So on September 26, the DART spacecraft slammed into Dimorphos, pushing it slightly closer to the larger asteroid it's orbiting, called Didymos. Telescopes across the planet and throughout Earth's orbit, including the new James Webb Space Telescope, are watching the asteroid closely.
☆ Side-by-side images of the 'Pillars of Creation' show Webb's power. It captured the famous stellar nursery overflowing with stars, which Hubble couldn't make out.

The Hubble Space Telescope also shot the famous nursery in 1995. The Pillars of Creation in remarkable detail, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope.
