NASA Hubble Space Telescope Sees Stellar Glitter in a Cosmic void.


The parts of the Universe which are empty for some reason, there are either fewer galaxies at these places, or not.  Cosmic voids of the Universe are vast spaces between filaments (the largest-scale structures in the universe), and voids typically have a diameter of 10 to 100 megapixes, which are specifically defined by the absence of large voids, rich superclusters. The researchers believe, they have less than one-tenth of the average density of mass, which is considered unique in the universe to observe.

The Universe is the part where galaxies are heavier than they seem to be, they are actually beyond this void, and instead form part of other galaxy clusters or clusters. Cosmic voids, such as the one in the Universe, are spaces within the web-like structure of the universe, and there is little or no galaxy present.

The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has detected locations in the Universe that are close to the local cluster, and this area of ​​empty space is at least 150 million light years. Researchers believe that for this perspective, our own Milky Way galaxy is estimated at 150,000 light-years, which makes the void immense in its nothingness.

Unlike a spiral and elliptical galaxy in the Universe, a galaxy KK 246 looks like a black velvet sheet glowing. KK 246, known as ESO 461-036, and is a dwarf irregular galaxy, locally residing within the void, where there is a vast area of ​​empty space. In the Universe, the KK246 galaxy is known to have a single vast mass of habitats, and to some, along with 15 others that have been temporarily identified by researchers.

NASA/ESA Hubble Telescope Captures Image of Supernova to Aid Distance Measurements.

  The Hubble Space Telescope has recently captured a striking image of a supernova-hosting galaxy, located approximately 600 million light-years away in the constellation Gemini. This image, taken about two months after the discovery of supernova SN 2022aajn, reveals a bright blue dot at the center, signifying the explosive event. Although SN 2022aajn was first announced in November 2022, it has not yet been the subject of extensive research. However, Hubble's interest in this particular supernova lies in its classification as a Type Ia supernova, a type that is key to measuring cosmic distances. Type Ia supernovae occur when a star's core collapses, and they are particularly useful for astronomers because they have a predictable intrinsic brightness. No matter how far away a Type Ia supernova is, it emits the same amount of light. By comparing its observed brightness to this known luminosity, astronomers can calculate how far away the supernova — and its host galaxy — are from...

Solar Storm Shocker: Earth Gets a Cosmic Makeover with Two New Radiation Belts!

  The May 2024 solar storm formed two new radiation belts between the Van Allen Belts, with one containing protons, creating a unique composition never observed before. Picture this: May 2024, the Sun throws a massive tantrum, sending a solar storm hurtling toward Earth. The result? Stunning auroras light up the skies, GPS systems go haywire, and—wait for it—Earth gets two brand-new *temporary* radiation belts! That’s right, our planet just got a cosmic upgrade, thanks to the largest solar storm in two decades. And no, this isn’t a sci-fi movie plot—it’s real science, folks!   Thanks to NASA’s Colorado Inner Radiation Belt Experiment (CIRBE) satellite, scientists discovered these new belts, which are like Earth’s Van Allen Belts’ quirky cousins. Published on February 6, 2025, in the *Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics*, this discovery is a game-changer for space research, especially for protecting satellites and astronauts from solar storm shenanigans. ...

Tropical Cyclone Sean Hits Western Australia, Breaking Rainfall Records and Causing Damage.

  On January 17, 2025, a tropical low formed over the Indian Ocean off Western Australia. By January 19, the system had intensified into Tropical Cyclone Sean, marking the second tropical cyclone of Australia’s 2024–2025 season. NASA’s Terra satellite, using the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument, captured a detailed image of the storm at around 10 a.m. local time (02:00 Universal Time) on January 20, 2025. Later that same day, Cyclone Sean reached its peak strength as a Category 4 storm. Despite staying offshore and not making landfall, Cyclone Sean still brought significant impacts to the Pilbara coast. The Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) reported that Karratha, a coastal city in the region, received a staggering 274.4 millimeters (10.8 inches) of rain in just 24 hours, setting a new single-day rainfall record for the city. The powerful storm caused widespread flooding, with roads submerged, homes affected, and power infrastructure damaged. Se...
