During each four-day passage, the pulsar’s X-ray brightness flares as it pulls in some of the gas. At first, the gas forms a messy, turbulent accretion disk around the pulsar, and plasma spirals down to it. But as the pulsar moves deeper into the stream, there’s not enough angular momentum to support the disk, and it breaks up. At this point, plasma falls straight onto the pulsar. Later, as the pulsar nears the end of its passage, a messy accretion disk rebuilds, this time spinning in the opposite direction of the earlier disk.

NASA recently reached an incredible milestone in the search for planets beyond our solar system: more than six thousand confirmed exoplanets. From blazing hot Jupiters to mysterious super-Earths and puffy gas giants, each new discovery expands our view of the galaxy and deepens our oldest questions.When the Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990, not a single exoplanet was known. Yet Hubble’s precision and ultraviolet vision helped pioneer this field, revealing the atmospheres of distant worlds, tracing escaping gases, and uncovering exotic planets unlike anything in our solar system. Its studies have shown planets that are football-shaped, evaporating into space, or as dark as fresh asphalt, each one a testament to nature’s imagination.Today, Hubble continues to team up with NASA’s new generation of observatories like Webb, TESS, and the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope to explore these alien worlds in ever greater detail. Together, they’re unraveling what these planets are made of, how they evolve, and whether some might harbor life. As we celebrate 6,000 confirmed exoplanets, we look ahead to the next 6,000 and to the discoveries still waiting beyond our cosmic horizon.For more information, visit science.nasa.gov/mission/hubbleCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Paul Morris: Lead ProducerVideo Credits:Artist’s Impression of WASP-121bNASA, ESA, and J.

As the black hole makes its last few orbits, it pulls large amounts of gas from the star. At some point in this process, the system begins to shine brightly in X-rays. Then, as the black hole enters the main body of the star, it rapidly consumes stellar matter, blasting gamma-ray jets (magenta) outward and causing the star to explode.

The solar wind originates in the outermost layer of the Sun’s atmosphere, the corona, when plasma is heated to a point that the Sun’s gravity can’t hold it down. When this plasma escapes – often reaching speeds of over one million miles per hour – it drags the Sun’s magnetic out across the solar system. When the solar wind encounters Earth, it is deflected by our planet's magnetic shield, causing most of the solar wind's energetic particles to flow around and beyond us. However, some of these high-energy particles can sneak past Earth’s natural magnetic defenses and produce hazardous conditions for satellites and astronauts, as well as power grids and infrastructure on Earth.Learn more about the solar wind: https://science.nasa.gov/sun/what-is-the-solar-wind/ || ", "hits": 531 }, { "id": 14868, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14868/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-07-23T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "XRISM Satellite X-rays Milky Way’s Sulfur in Detail", "description": "An international team of scientists have provided an unprecedented tally of elemental sulfur spread between the stars using data from the Japan-led XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) spacecraft.Astronomers used X-rays from two binary star systems to detect sulfur in the interstellar medium, the gas and dust found in the space between stars. It’s the first direct measurement of both sulfur’s gas and solid phases, a unique capability of X-ray spectroscopy, XRISM’s (pronounced “crism”) primary method of studying the cosmos.Using ultraviolet light, researchers have found gaseous sulfur in the space between stars. In denser parts of the interstellar medium, such as the molecular clouds where stars and planets are born, this form of sulfur quickly disappears.Scientists assume the sulfur condenses into a solid, either by combining with ice or mixing with other elements.When a doctor performs an X-ray here on Earth, they place the patient between an X-ray source and a detector. Bone and tissue absorb different amounts of the light as it travels through the patient's body, creating contrast in the detector.Scientists did something similar by picking a portion of the interstellar medium with the right density — not so thin that all the X-rays would pass through unchanged, but also not so dense that they would all be absorbed.Then they selected a bright X-ray source behind that section of the medium, a binary star system called GX 340+0 located over 35,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Scorpius.Using the Resolve instrument on XRISM, the researchers were able to measure the energy of GX 340+0’s X-rays and determined that sulfur was present not only as a gas, but also as a solid, possibly mixed with iron.Iron-sulfur compounds are often found in meteorites, so scientists have long thought they might be one way sulfur solidifies out of molecular clouds to travel through the universe. XRISM’s observations could match a few of these compounds — pyrrhotite, troilite, and pyrite, which is sometimes called fool’s gold.The researchers were also able to use measurements from a second X-ray binary called 4U 1630-472 that helped confirm their findings. || ", "hits": 65 }, { "id": 14866, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14866/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-07-15T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Cosmic Desktop & Phone Wallpapers", "description": "We can’t clean up your messy desktop, but we can provide a bit of beauty from the universe to act as a backdrop to it.

This artist's concept shows one interpretation of the system. High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy indicates two gas components: a heavy background outflow, or wind, produced by the massive star and a turbulent structure — perhaps a wake carved into the wind — located close to the orbiting companion. As shown here, a black hole's gravity captures some of the wind into an accretion disk around it, and the disk's orbital motion sculpts a path (yellow arc) through the streaming gas. During strong outbursts, the companion emits jets of particles moving near the speed of light, seen here extending above and below the black hole.Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight CenterAlt text: Illustration of the Cygnus X-3 systemImage description: On a cloudy reddish background, a bright blue-white circle — a representation of a hot, bright, massive star — sits near the center.

The central plane of our galaxy runs across the middle, and its center is marked by a white X. Red indicates hotter regions, blue colder. The fluctuations are extremely faint, varying by only 1 part in 100,000 from the average temperature. They represent density variations in the early universe thought to have given rise to the structures we see today. After stripping away foreground emission arising from dust, hot gas, and charged particles interacting with magnetic fields in our galaxy, COBE data revealed tiny variations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background — the oldest light in the universe — for the first time.(This video is formatted for 360-degree use.)Credit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight CenterMusic: “Meetings in Underwater Ruins,” Philippe Andre Vandenhende [SACEM], Olivier Louis Perrot [SACEM] and Idriss-El-Mehdi Bennani [SACEM], Universal Production MusicWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || YTframe_Design_hybrid_COBE_360.jpg (1280x720) [235.1 KB] || YTframe_Design_hybrid_COBE_360_searchweb.png (320x180) [80.8 KB] || YTframe_Design_hybrid_COBE_360_thm.png (80x40) [9.2 KB] || 14720_COBE_360_Captions.en_US.srt [4.7 KB] || 14720_COBE_360_Captions.en_US.vtt [4.4 KB] || 14720_COBE_360_Narrated_Good.mp4 (8192x4096) [131.8 MB] || 14720_COBE_360_Narrated_Best.mp4 (8192x4096) [503.2 MB] || ", "hits": 170 }, { "id": 14715, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14715/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-11-18T00:00:00-05:00", "title": "COBE Celebrates 35th Launch Anniversary", "description": "Technicians work on the COBE (Cosmic Background Explorer) spacecraft in a clean room at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

Roughly every 11 years, at the height of the solar cycle, the Sun’s magnetic poles flip — on Earth, that’d be like the North and South Poles swapping places every decade — and the Sun transitions from sluggish to active and stormy.During the most active part of the cycle, known as solar maximum, the Sun can unleash immense explosions of light, energy, and solar radiation — all of which create conditions known as space weather. Space weather can affect satellites and astronauts in space, as well as communications systems — such as radio and GPS — and power grids on Earth. When the Sun is most active, space weather events become more frequent. Solar activity, such as the storm in May 2024, has led to increased aurora visibility and impacts on satellites and infrastructure in recent months.Listen to the media telecon.Read NASA's article about the news. || ", "hits": 626 }, { "id": 5333, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5333/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2024-10-07T09:00:00-04:00", "title": "DYAMOND Global Carbon Dioxide for Fulldome", "description": "Global CO2 ppm for January-March of 2020.

The material forming a black hole has been compressed to densities so high that it is hidden within an “event horizon,” beyond which the gravitational field is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Outside of this event horizon light paths will bend sharply, and even loop around the black hole, under the influence of the intense gravitational fields.The speed at which material, in what is known as an accretion disk, orbits the black hole increases with proximity. The orbital speed of material closest to the event horizon approaches the speed of light. This produces an effect known as “relativistic doppler beaming” which enhances the brightness of material moving towards us along our line of sight, and correspondingly dims the brightness of material moving away.The gravitational warping of the light from background stars is strong, creating the effect of a powerful lens.

This work has helped explain an unusual structure in the debris from the destroyed star called the “Green Monster”, first discovered in Webb data in April 2023. The research has also uncovered new details about the explosion that created Cas A about 340 years ago, from Earth’s perspective.A new composite image contains X-rays from Chandra (blue), infrared data from Webb (red, green, blue), and optical data from Hubble (red and white). The outer parts of the image also include infrared data from NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope (red, green and blue). The outline of the Green Monster can be seen by mousing over the image in the original feature, located here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/.The Chandra data reveals hot gas, mostly from supernova debris from the destroyed star, including elements like silicon and iron. In the outer parts of Cas A the expanding blast wave is striking surrounding gas that was ejected by the star before the explosion. The X-rays are produced by energetic electrons spiraling around magnetic field lines in the blast wave. These electrons light up as thin arcs in the outer regions of Cas A, and in parts of the interior. Webb highlights infrared emission from dust that is warmed up because it is embedded in the hot gas seen by Chandra, and from much cooler supernova debris. The Hubble data shows stars in the field.Detailed analysis by the researchers found that filaments in the outer part of Cas A, from the blast wave, closely matched the X-ray properties of the Green Monster, including less iron and silicon than in the supernova debris. This interpretation is apparent from the color Chandra image, which shows that the colors inside the Green Monster’s outline best match with the colors of the blast wave rather than the debris with iron and silicon. The authors conclude that the Green Monster was created by a blast wave from the exploded star slamming into material surrounding it, supporting earlier suggestions from the Webb data alone.The debris from the explosion is seen by Chandra because it is heated to tens of millions of degrees by shock waves, akin to sonic booms from a supersonic plane. Webb can see some material that has not been affected by shock waves, what can be called “pristine” debris.Read more here: chandra.cfa.harvard.edu/photo/2024/casa/. || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o.jpg (4200x3386) [7.1 MB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_searchweb.png (320x180) [121.1 KB] || 53453268481_e80cfca2d4_o_thm.png (80x40) [15.9 KB] || webb-chandra-hubble-and-spitzer-all-explore-cassiopeia-a-composite-all-4.hwshow || ", "hits": 167 }, { "id": 31290, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31290/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-06-13T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Webb and Hubble's Views of Spiral Galaxy NGC 628", "description": "animated comparison || NGC_628-HST_Webb-1080p.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [334.0 KB] || NGC_628-HST_Webb-1080p.mp4 (1920x1080) [58.7 MB] || NGC_628-HST_Webb-4k.mp4 (3840x2160) [221.7 MB] || webb-and-hubbles-views-of-spiral-galaxy-ngc-628-4k-movie.hwshow [350 bytes] || ", "hits": 222 }, { "id": 31292, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31292/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-06-13T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Webb Probes an Extreme Starburst Galaxy", "description": "Starburst galaxy M82 was observed by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2006, which showed the galaxy’s edge-on spiral disk, shredded clouds, and hot hydrogen gas.

The red filaments trace the shape of the cool component of the galactic wind via polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs are very small dust grains that survive in cooler temperatures but are destroyed in hot conditions. The structure of the emission is similar to that of the ionized gas, suggesting PAHs may be replenished from cooler molecular material as it is ionized. || STScI-01HRD1Z19WZYMNB8J1BNVSS1HE-inset-hw_print.jpg (1024x576) [178.7 KB] || STScI-01HRD1Z19WZYMNB8J1BNVSS1HE-inset-hw.png (3840x2160) [10.9 MB] || STScI-01HRD1Z19WZYMNB8J1BNVSS1HE-inset-hw_searchweb.png (320x180) [74.1 KB] || STScI-01HRD1Z19WZYMNB8J1BNVSS1HE-inset-hw_thm.png (80x40) [5.4 KB] || STScI-01HRD1Z19WZYMNB8J1BNVSS1HE-inset.png (16260x7030) [87.9 MB] || webb-probes-an-extreme-starburst-galaxy-hst-v-webb.hwshow [356 bytes] || ", "hits": 42 }, { "id": 31285, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31285/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-06-12T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "The Webb Space Telescope Studies the \"Cosmic Cliffs\" in NGC 3324", "description": "The seemingly three-dimensional “Cosmic Cliffs” showcases Webb’s capabilities to peer through obscuring dust and shed new light on how stars form. Webb reveals emerging stellar nurseries and individual stars that are completely hidden in visible-light pictures. This landscape of “mountains” and “valleys” is actually the edge of a nearby stellar nursery called NGC 3324 at the northwest corner of the Carina Nebula.So-called mountains — some towering about 7 light-years high — are speckled with glittering, young stars imaged in infrared light. A cavernous area has been carved from the nebula by the intense ultraviolet radiation and stellar winds from extremely massive, hot, young stars located above the area shown in this image. The blistering, ultraviolet radiation from these stars is sculpting the nebula’s wall by slowly eroding it away. Dramatic pillars rise above the glowing wall of gas, resisting this radiation. The “steam” that appears to rise from the celestial “mountains” is actually hot, ionized gas and hot dust streaming away from the nebula due to the relentless radiation.Objects in the earliest, rapid phases of star formation are difficult to capture, but Webb’s extreme sensitivity, spatial resolution and imaging capability can chronicle these elusive events. || eta-carina-cliffs-webb-STScI-01G8GX1KMWX2XA4PK2EWM7KE3R-hw_resolution_print.jpg (1024x593) [318.7 KB] || eta-carina-cliffs-webb-STScI-01G8GX1KMWX2XA4PK2EWM7KE3R-hw_resolution.png (3840x2224) [10.2 MB] || eta-carina-cliffs-webb-STScI-01G8GX1KMWX2XA4PK2EWM7KE3R.png (14575x8441) [113.7 MB] || eta-carina-cliffs-webb-STScI-01G8GX1KMWX2XA4PK2EWM7KE3R-hw_resolution_searchweb.png (320x180) [116.3 KB] || eta-carina-cliffs-webb-STScI-01G8GX1KMWX2XA4PK2EWM7KE3R-hw_resolution_thm.png (80x40) [13.5 KB] || eta-carina-cliffs-webb-STScI-01G8GX1KMWX2XA4PK2EWM7KE3R.png.dzi [179 bytes] || eta-carina-cliffs-webb-STScI-01G8GX1KMWX2XA4PK2EWM7KE3R.png_files [4.0 KB] || the-webb-space-telescope-studies-the-cosmic-cliffs-in-ngc-3324-still.hwshow [430 bytes] || ", "hits": 225 }, { "id": 31289, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31289/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-06-07T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Webb Depicts Staggering Structure in 19 Nearby Spiral Galaxies", "description": "Collection of 19 face-on spiral galaxies from the James Webb Space Telescope in near- and mid-infrared light || STScI-01HM9N7MFNS25D041H5YFKHE0J_print.jpg (1024x1024) [652.8 KB] || STScI-01HM9N7MFNS25D041H5YFKHE0J.png (4500x4500) [31.7 MB] || STScI-01HM9N7MFNS25D041H5YFKHE0J_searchweb.png (320x180) [119.4 KB] || STScI-01HM9N7MFNS25D041H5YFKHE0J_thm.png (80x40) [15.0 KB] || webb-depicts-staggering-structure-in-19-nearby-spiral-galaxies.hwshow [71 bytes] || ", "hits": 55 }, { "id": 5303, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5303/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2024-05-30T14:00:00-04:00", "title": "NASA’s TEMPO Instrument Air Quality Data Now Publicly Available", "description": "The TEMPO instrument measured elevated levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from a number of different areas and emission sources throughout the daytime on March 28, 2024.

Thousands of stars that exist in this region disappear – and seemingly endless layers of gas and dust become the centerpiece.The detection of dust by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is extremely important – dust is a major ingredient for star formation. Many stars are actively forming in these dense blue-gray pillars. When knots of gas and dust with sufficient mass form in these regions, they begin to collapse under their own gravitational attraction, slowly heat up – and eventually form new stars.Although the stars appear missing, they aren’t. Stars typically do not emit much mid-infrared light. Instead, they are easiest to detect in ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared light. In this MIRI view, two types of stars can be identified. The stars at the end of the thick, dusty pillars have recently eroded the material surrounding them. They show up in red because their atmospheres are still enshrouded in cloaks of dust. In contrast, blue tones indicate stars that are older and have shed most of their gas and dust.Mid-infrared light also details dense regions of gas and dust. The red region toward the top, which forms a delicate V shape, is where the dust is both diffuse and cooler. And although it may seem like the scene clears toward the bottom left of this view, the darkest gray areas are where densest and coolest regions of dust lie. Notice that there are many fewer stars and no background galaxies popping into view.Webb’s mid-infrared data will help researchers determine exactly how much dust is in this region – and what it’s made of. These details will make models of the Pillars of Creation far more precise. Over time, we will begin to more clearly understand how stars form and burst out of these dusty clouds over millions of years. || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars.png (1987x1817) [4.1 MB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_print.jpg (1024x576) [125.2 KB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres.png (3840x2160) [4.3 MB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_searchweb.png (320x180) [65.3 KB] || STScI-01GFRYYRTCTMX197BY86MBFCR9-pillars-hwres_thm.png (80x40) [7.3 KB] || webb-space-telescope-studies-the-pillars-of-creation.hwshow [368 bytes] || ", "hits": 301 }, { "id": 31284, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31284/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-05-27T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "The Webb Space Telescope Studies the Southern Ring Nebula", "description": "Webb Space Telescope NIRCam image || southern-ring-nebula_00433_print.jpg (1024x576) [198.6 KB] || southern-ring-nebula_00433.png (3840x2160) [8.6 MB] || NGC_3132_webb_NIRCam-STScI-01G8GZQ3ZFJRD8YF8YZWMAXCE3.png (4833x4501) [21.3 MB] || southern-ring-nebula_00433_searchweb.png (320x180) [90.4 KB] || southern-ring-nebula_00433_thm.png (80x40) [6.2 KB] || the-webb-space-telescope-studies-the-southern-ring-nebula-nircam-view.hwshow [274 bytes] || ", "hits": 102 }, { "id": 14581, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14581/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-05-23T10:00:00-04:00", "title": "Gliese 12 b: An Intriguing World Sized Between Earth and Venus", "description": "Gliese 12 b’s estimated size may be as large as Earth or slightly smaller — comparable to Venus in our solar system.

Hurt (Caltech-IPAC)Alt text: Illustration of Earth compared to various models of Gliese 12 b Image description: At left, against a black background, floats an artist's concept of a nearly half-illuminated Earth, with clouds, blue oceans, and land areas rendered in green, tan, brown, and white. At right are three similarly illuminated planets, slightly smaller than Earth and each representing a possible interpretation of Gliese 12 b. The version on the left has a surface of blotchy reddish and brownish features and no atmosphere. The middle version has the same surface texture partly obscured by a hazy atmosphere. And the rightmost and smallest version of the planet has a thick, Venus-like atmosphere that obscures the surface completely. || Gl12b_Earth_Comparison_ac.jpg (3840x2160) [935.8 KB] || Gl12b_Earth_Comparison_ac_print.jpg (1024x576) [126.0 KB] || Gl12b_Earth_Comparison.jpg (3840x2160) [929.5 KB] || Gl12b_Earth_Comparison_ac_searchweb.png (320x180) [54.4 KB] || Gl12b_Earth_Comparison_ac_web.png (320x180) [54.4 KB] || Gl12b_Earth_Comparison_ac_thm.png (80x40) [9.8 KB] || Gl12b_Earth_Comparison.tif (3840x2160) [6.4 MB] || ", "hits": 243 }, { "id": 31283, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/31283/", "result_type": "Hyperwall Visual", "release_date": "2024-05-22T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "Webb Space Telescope View of the Horsehead Nebula", "description": "Horsehead Nebula (Euclid, Hubble and Webb images) || STScI-01HV6QEKG49SGS0JAAC3KQ3CGW-horsehead-x3.png (8983x3530) [35.2 MB] || STScI-01HV6QEKG49SGS0JAAC3KQ3CGW-horsehead-x3_print.jpg (1024x402) [143.1 KB] || STScI-01HV6QEKG49SGS0JAAC3KQ3CGW-horsehead-x3_searchweb.png (320x180) [90.1 KB] || STScI-01HV6QEKG49SGS0JAAC3KQ3CGW-horsehead-x3_thm.png (80x40) [15.8 KB] || ", "hits": 60 }, { "id": 14584, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14584/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-05-08T09:00:00-04:00", "title": "XRISM Spots Iron Fingerprints in Nearby Active Galaxy", "description": "The Resolve instrument aboard XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) captured data from the center of galaxy NGC 4151, where a supermassive black hole is slowly consuming material from the surrounding accretion disk.

Descriptive text: The spectrum image is labeled, “XRISM Resolve Spectrum of NGC 4151.” It shows a graph where the bottom is labeled, “X-ray energy (keV),” with a range from 5 to 9. The left side is labeled, “X-ray brightness.” A squiggly white line starts just under halfway up the left side. It peaks at just under 6.5 keV, nearly reaching the top of the graph. Then it starts to slope gently downward, with several sharp dips around 7 keV. In the background is a dim image of galaxy NGC 4151, where the center is a whiteish blue, surrounding by clouds of red and yellow. || Spectrum_v4.jpg (2300x2050) [426.6 KB] || ", "hits": 68 }, { "id": 14576, "url": "http://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14576/", "result_type": "Visualization", "release_date": "2024-05-06T13:00:00-04:00", "title": "NASA Black Hole Visualization Takes Viewers Beyond the Brink", "description": "In this flight toward a supermassive black hole, labels highlight many of the fascinating features produced by the effects of general relativity along the way.

A flat, swirling cloud of hot, glowing gas called an accretion disk surrounds the black hole and serves as a visual reference during the fall, as do glowing structures called photon rings, which form closer to the black hole from light that has orbited it one or more times.
