AI tool mines Hubble archive for hundreds of strange cosmic objectsLos Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 29, 2026 A team of astronomers has used a new artificial intelligence assisted technique to uncover rare astronomical phenomena in archived data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. They sifted through nearly 100 million small image cutouts from the Hubble Legacy Archive, each only a few dozen pixels across, and identified more than 1,300 unusually shaped objects in just two and a half days, including ove
Hubble Nets Menagerie of Young Stellar ObjectsA disparate collection of young stellar objects bejewels a cosmic panorama in the star-forming region NGC 1333 in this new image from NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. To the left, an actively forming star called a protostar casts its glow on the surrounding gas and dust, creating a reflection nebula. Two dark stripes on opposite sides of […]
NASA’s Hubble Examines Cloud-9, First of New Type of ObjectA team using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered a new type of astronomical object — a starless, gas-rich, dark-matter cloud considered a “relic” or remnant of early galaxy formation. Nicknamed “Cloud-9,” this is the first confirmed detection of such an object in the universe — a finding that furthers the understanding of galaxy formation, […]

NASA’s Hubble Sees White Dwarf Eating Piece of Pluto-Like ObjectIn our nearby stellar neighborhood, a burned-out star is snacking on a fragment of a Pluto-like object. With its unique ultraviolet capability, only NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope could identify that this meal is taking place. The stellar remnant is a white dwarf about half the mass of our Sun, but that is densely packed into […]

NASA Citizen Scientists Spot Object Moving 1 Million Miles Per HourMost familiar stars peacefully orbit the center of the Milky Way. But citizen scientists working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project have helped discover an object moving so fast that it will escape the Milky Way’s gravity and shoot into intergalactic space. This hypervelocity object is the first such object found with the mass similar to or […]
Artemis 1 launch team overcomes obstacles to complete WDR test objectivesNASA’s Exploration Ground Systems (EGS) program and prime launch processing contractor Jacobs completed the Wet Dress Rehearsal (WDR) countdown demonstration test for Artemis 1 at the Kennedy Space Center (KSC) on June 20. The fourth run of the test “cut off” at T-29 seconds, several seconds before the desired stop time but after demonstrating the desired objectives of the test.
