Dense stellar remnants called neutron stars create these bursts when they collide with other neutron stars or black holes. Short gamma-ray bursts, which last less than 2 seconds, are important sources for gravitational wave discoveries and multimessenger astronomy. BurstCube will use Earth’s magnetic field to orientate itself as it scans the sky. To do so, the mission team had to map the spacecraft’s own magnetic field using a special facility at NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The magnetic calibration chamber generates a known magnetic field that cancels out Earth’s. The team's measurements of BurstCube’s field in the chamber will help figure out where the satellite is pointing once in space, so scientists can locate gamma-ray bursts and tell other observatories where to look. || ", "hits": 48 }, { "id": 14488, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14488/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2023-12-18T11:00:00-05:00", "title": "BurstCube Gets Its Solar Panels", "description": "Engineers work on the BurstCube mission’s solar panels in this video.

galaxy Messier 101 (M101) is one of the largest and most detailed views of a spiral galaxy that has ever been released from Hubble. This galaxy's portrait is actually composed of 51 individual Hubble images, in addition to elements from images from ground-based photos (visible near the edges of the image).The galaxy's spiral arms are sprinkled with large regions of star-forming nebulae. These nebulae are areas of intense star formation within giant molecular hydrogen clouds. Brilliant young clusters of hot, blue, newborn stars trace out the spiral arms. M101 (also nicknamed the Pinwheel Galaxy) lies in the northern circumpolar constellation, Ursa Major (The Great Bear), at a distance of 25 million light-years from Earth.

Early astronomers gave the nebula its \"tarantula\" nickname because the glowing filaments of gas resemble spider legs. The nebula is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small compainon galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy. This star-forming region is the brightest visible in a neighboring galaxy and is home to the most massive stars ever seen.The nebula is close enough to Earth that Hubble can resolve individual stars, giving astronomers important information about the stars' birth and evolution. It is one of only a few star-forming regions outside of our galaxy that astronomers can study in so much detail. The star-birthing frenzy may be partly fueled by its close proximity to another companion galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud.The image reveals the stages of star birth, from embryonic stars a few thousand years old still wrapped in cocoons of dark gas to behemoths that die young in supernova explosions. In this star-forming factory, Hubble shows star clusters of various ages, from about 2 million to about 25 million years old.The region's sparkling centerpiece is a giant, young star cluster (left of center) named NGC 2070, only 2 million years old. Its stellar inhabitants number roughly 500,000. The cluster is a hotbed for young, massive stars. Its dense core, known as R136, is packed with some of the heftiest stars found in the nearby universe, weighing more than 100 times the mass of our Sun.The massive stars are carving deep cavities in the surrounding material by unleashing a torrent of ultraviolet light, Besides sculpting the gaseous terrain, the brilliant stars also may be triggering a successive generation of offspring. When the radiation hits dense walls of gas, it creates shocks, which may be generating a new wave of star birth.The colors represent the hot gas that dominates regions of the image. Red signifies hydrogen gas and blue, oxygen. || ", "hits": 62 }, { "id": 12472, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12472/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2016-12-30T10:00:00-05:00", "title": "Hubble: Humanity's Quest for Knowledge", "description": "Launched on April 24, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided over a million observations, advancing studies of the solar system, nebulae, exoplanets, stars, black holes, galaxies, dark matter, and dark energy.

This not-so-milky image of the Milky Way—nearly free of the obscuring effects of interstellar dust—was made with data from two highly automated 1.3 m ground-based telescopes used during the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) project. 2MASS is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts in Amherst and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center at the California Institute of Technology. 2MASS has uniformly scanned the entire sky in three near-infrared bands, using two highly-automated 1.3-meter telescopes, one at a northern hemisphere facility and the other in a southern hemisphere facility.

The constellation boundaries are those established by the International Astronomical Union in 1930. The constellation figures also come from the IAU, although they're not official.The maps are presented in plate carrée projections using either celestial (J2000 geocentric right ascension and declination) or galactic coordinates. They are designed for spherical mapping in animation software. The oval shapes near the top and bottom of the star maps are not galaxies. The distortion of the stars in those parts of the map is just an effect of the projection.The celestial coordinate mapping will be the more useful one for animation, since camera rotations in the software will correspond in a straightforward way to the right ascension and declination in astronomy references. The galactic coordinate mapping works as a standalone image showing the edge-on view of our home galaxy, from the inside.The animation demonstrates the use of the maps in a tour of the sky. The tour starts at W-shaped Cassiopeia, then heads south through Perseus to the winter constellation of Orion the Hunter and the Hyades and Pleiades star clusters in Taurus. It moves southeast past Orion's canine companion and its star, Sirius, brightest in the sky, eventually pausing at the rich southern hemisphere portion of the Milky Way in Carina and Crux, the Southern Cross.East of the Cross, in Centaurus, is the binary star Alpha Centauri, at 4.4 light-years the naked-eye star system nearest to the Sun. Also visible as a fuzzy spot near the top of the frame is the globular cluster Omega Centauri. The number of stars used to draw the star maps is large enough to reveal many globular and open star clusters as well as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds.After passing near the celestial south pole, the tour moves north along the Milky Way to the center of our galaxy near the teapot in Sagittarius. The tour veers northwest from there, finally stopping at the familiar Big Dipper or Plough asterism in Ursa Major.This is an update to entry 3572. || ", "hits": 1198 }, { "id": 10619, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10619/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2010-07-22T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "20 Years of Hubble Science", "description": "This video series focuses on two areas of science that the Hubble Space Telescope has helped advance: thee formation and evolution of galaxies and detection of extrasolar planets. || ", "hits": 99 }, { "id": 10489, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/10489/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2009-10-28T01:45:00-04:00", "title": "Gamma-ray Burst Photon Delay as Expected by Quantum Gravity", "description": "In this illustration, one photon (purple) carries a million times the energy of another (yellow).

The maps are plotted in plate carrée projection (Cylindrical-Equidistant) using celestial coordinates making them suitable for mapping onto spheres in many popular animation programs. The stars are plotted as gaussian point-spread functions (PSF) so the size and amplitude of the stars corresponds to their relative intensity. The stars are also elongated in Right Ascension (celestial longitude) based on declination (celestial latitude) so stars in the polar regions will still be round when projected on a sphere. Stars fainter than the threshold magnitude, usually selected as 5th magnitude, have their magnitude-intensity curve adjusted so they appear brighter than they really are. This makes the band of the Milky Way more visible. Stellar colors are assigned based on B and V magnitudes (B and V are stellar magnitudes measured through different filters). If Johnson B and V magnitudes are unavailable, Tycho B and V magnitudes are used instead. From these, an effective stellar temperature is derived using the algorithms described in Flower (ApJ 469, 355 1996). Corrections were noted from Siobahn Morgan (UNI). The effective temperature was then converted to CIE tristimulus X,Y,Z triples assuming a black-body emission distribution. The X,Y,Z values are then converted to red-green-blue color pixels. About 2.4 million stars are plotted, but many may be below the pixel intensity resolution. The three most conspicuously missing objects on these maps are the Andromeda galaxy (M31) and the two Magellanic Clouds. Changes from the first version #3442, The Tycho Catalog Skymap: The star generation algorithm now favors use of the Johnson magnitudes when available. This improves the star colors over the previous method. The star intensity profiles are also slightly modified to make the cores brighter with a faster intensity falloff. We have also set the color standard to SMPTE with a gamma of 1.8.Update: This skymap has been revised. The newer version is available at Deep Star Maps. || ", "hits": 244 } ] }
