NASA’s Chandra, Hubble Tune Into ‘Flame-Throwing’ Guitar Nebula

November 20, 2024

Lee Mohon

Normally found only in heavy metal bands or certain post-apocalyptic films, a “flame-throwing guitar” has now been spotted moving through space. Astronomers have captured movies of this extreme cosmic object using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope. The new movie of Chandra (red) and Palomar (blue) data helps break down what is playing…

NASA, Bhutan Conclude Five Years of Teamwork on STEM, Sustainability

November 4, 2024

Beth Ridgeway

NASA and the Kingdom of Bhutan have been actively learning from each other and growing together since 2019. The seeds planted over those years have ripened into improved environmental conservation, community-based natural resource management, and new remote sensing tools. Known for its governing philosophy of “gross national happiness,” [Bhutan] has a constitutional mandate to maintain…

Planets Beware: NASA Unburies Danger Zones of Star Cluster

October 28, 2024

Lee Mohon

Most stars form in collections, called clusters or associations, that include very massive stars. These giant stars send out large amounts of high-energy radiation, which can disrupt relatively fragile disks of dust and gas that are in the process of coalescing to form new planets. A team of astronomers used NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, in…
