Dracula’s Chivito is not just the largest protoplanetary disk ever imaged, it’s also a window into how planets are born and how systems like ours began.For more information, visit science.nasa.gov/mission/hubbleCredit: NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center Paul Morris: Lead ProducerMusic Credit:\"Distant Messages\" by Anne Nikitin [PRS] via BBC Production Music [PRS] and Universal Production Music || ", "hits": 56 }, { "id": 14790, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14790/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2025-03-04T10:55:00-05:00", "title": "Hubble Finds Possible Triple System 3.7 Billion Miles Away", "description": "Today, we dive into the mysteries of the Kuiper Belt, home to thousands of icy remnants from the early solar system. Among these objects, scientists have cataloged over 3,000, yet they estimate there could be hundreds of thousands more, each spanning more than 10 miles in diameter, with Pluto being the most famous.Recent research using data from the Keck Observatory and NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has revealed a potential three-body system in the Kuiper Belt, known as the Altjira system. This discovery challenges traditional collision theories by suggesting that these triple systems might form directly from the gravitational collapse of material in the early solar disk.The Altjira system, located roughly 3.7 billion miles away, demonstrates how even the most distant and faint objects can yield groundbreaking insights when observed over decades. Join us as we explore how these long-term observations are reshaping our understanding of the solar system’s formation and evolution.For more information, visit https://nasa.gov/hubble.

Thanks to interactions between gas and dust, a debris disk may, under the right conditions, produce narrow rings on its own, no planets needed.Many young stars known to host planets also possess disks containing dust and icy grains, particles produced by collisions among asteroids and comets also orbiting the star. These debris disks often show sharply defined rings or spiral patterns, features that could signal the presence of orbiting planets. Astronomers study the structures as a way to better understand the physical properties of known planets and possibly uncover new ones. When the mass of gas is roughly equal to the mass of dust, the two interact in a way that leads to clumping in the dust and the formation of patterns. Effectively, the gas shepherds the dust into the kinds of structures astronomers would expect to see if a planet were present.Lyra and Kuchner refer to this as the photoelectric instability and developed a simulation to explore its effects. This animation shows how the process alters the density of dust in a debris disk and rapidly leads to the formation of rings, arcs and oval structures. || ", "hits": 46 }, { "id": 11240, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/11240/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2013-05-07T00:00:00-04:00", "title": "To Pluto And Beyond", "description": "There is a pioneer hurtling through space.

Webb's instruments are designed to work primarily in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum, with some capability in the visible range.\n\nWebb has a large primary mirror, 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) in diameter and a sunshield the size of a tennis court. Both the mirror and sunshade are too large to fit onto the Ariane 5 rocket fully open, so both were folded which meant they needed to be unfolded in space. \n\nWebb is currently in its operational orbit about 1.5 million km (1 million miles) from the Earth at a location known as Lagrange Point 2 (L2).\n\nThe James Webb Space Telescope was named after the NASA Administrator who crafted the Apollo program, and who was a staunch supporter of space science.", "hits": 919 } ] }
