Two Powerful Space Telescopes are Better Than One
When the JWST was being built, some labelled it as the Hubble's successor. In some ways it is, even though the Hubble is still performing important science observations. When the two telescopes team up, we get the best of both.
Study reveals key drivers behind 3D layered structures in open star clusters
Researchers from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have made significant progress in understanding how three-dimensional (3D) layered structures form within open star clusters. Using N-body simulations and analyzing 279 nearby open clusters in the solar neighborhood, the researchers identified a strong correlation between the number of member stars and the presence of spatial stratification.
527 megapixels show a cosmic firework of gas and dust. Hubble and James Webb look together into clusters of stars that are only a few million years old. What they discovered there could change our understanding of star formation. (Read more)
Extragalactic Open Star Clusters NGC 460 & NGC 456 in Tucana | Webb+Hubble
Extragalactic Open Star Clusters NGC 460 & NGC 456 in Tucana | Webb+HubbleA vast network of stars, gas, and dust is strung among a duo of star clusters in this combined image from NASA’s Hubble and Webb space telescopes. Open star clusters NGC 460 and NGC 456 reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way. This highly detailed 527 megapixel mosaic consists of 12 overlapping observations and includes visible and infra…
Hubble and Webb Teamed Up to Reveal the Hidden Faces of a Star-forming Region
In a groundbreaking release on July 7, 2025, NASA showcased extraordinary images from its Hubble and Webb space telescopes that reveal the intricate dynamics of two star clusters, NGC 460 and NGC 456. These clusters, residing in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), a dwarf galaxy orbiting the Milky Way, offer a rare glimpse into the birth and evolution of stars in a galaxy that mirrors the early stages of the universe. By combining the observationa…
