Hawaiâi Students Name Image of Glittering Galaxy Pair NÄ Ê»Uhane MÄhoe Huki PÅ« i ke Ola | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
NÄ Ê»Uhane MÄhoe Huki PÅ« i ke Ola is the Hawaiian name given to this image of NGC 7253 â a pair of spiral galaxies caught in each otherâs gravity. This image was captured by the Gemini North telescope on Maunakea, one half of the International Gemini Observatory, partly funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated by NSF NOIRLab. The name of the image, which translates to âThe Twin Spirits Pulling Together Creating Life,â was chosen by the 2026 Project HÅkÅ«lani
Remembering the NSF Kitt Peak National Observatory Rocket Program | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A green rocket with a gray nosecone being prepared for Kitt Peak flight number KP 3.23, with the payload of a 12-inch telescope and spectrometer. This rocket would launch on 26 October 1968. This was the first flight of the new rocket, the Aerobee 170. The original photograph is stored in NSF NOIRLab’s historical archives. Newswise — At the NSF NOIRLab Headquarters Library in Tucson, Arizona, The Lloyd Vincent Wallace Rocket Program Papers document Kitt Peak’s Space Division, which ran from 1959
Scientists Release Biggest 2D Map of the Universe | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Among the nearly four billion objects in the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys’ map is Messier 96 (NGC 3368), a majestic spiral galaxy nestled in the constellation Leo approximately 35 million light-years from Earth. Spanning 100,000 light-years, slightly larger than our own Milky Way in size, it’s the brightest member of the Messier 96 Group, the closest grouping of galaxies to our own Local Group. The Messier 96 data were extracted from the DESI Legacy Survey and captured by the U.S. Department of E
Astronomers Catch Massive Starâs Death From the First Explosive Moment | Newswise (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These images show the evolution of supernova SN 2026gzf, which was first detected by the Einstein Probe on 21 March 2026. Images taken on 25 March and 3 April 2026 show the supernova brightening. An archival image of the host galaxy from 9 March 2016 reveals a bright blue source at the location of the supernova, which scientists say likely represents a compact, extreme star-forming region in the host galaxy, combined with pre-explosion activity of the progenitor star before its death. These imag
The Starry Night Redux (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A vibrant view of the Corona Australis Molecular Cloud, one of the closest star-forming regions to Earth, reveals glowing nebulae, dark dust lanes, and newborn stars in a scene reminiscent of Van Gogh’s The Starry Night. At left, the young binary system R Coronae Australis illuminates surrounding gas and dust, while the glittering globular cluster NGC 6723 shines at upper right, far beyond the nearby stellar nursery. This image was captured by the 570-megapixel DOE-fabricated Dark Energy Camera
