NASA’s Hubble telescope captures a galaxy cluster that looks like it’s smiling
The smile is created by gravitational lensing, an effect in which a massive galaxy cluster bends light from objects behind it, forming curved arcs that resemble a giant cosmic smile
Satellite startup Hubble raised $200 million in a new funding round, taking the company’s valuation to $1.6 billion as it works to enable global Bluetooth connectivity through a network of spacecraft.
Roman's camera covers 100× Hubble's sky area in a single exposure. In Year 1, it will catalog ~1 billion galaxies — more than all of human astronomy history combined. Gathering the same data with Hubble would take 500 years of uninterrupted observation. We built a machine to do it in 12 months. We launched this week. Living during the singularity is AWESOME!
A composite image of data from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Kitt Peak four-meter telescope and MOTHRA reveal the Helix Nebula. We can see the bow shocks, particularly on the left.
