Uranus has been keeping secrets. It turns out that the planet takes a bit longer to spin on its axis than we previously thought. This discovery came from a recent study that looked at data from the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope has been watching Uranus for over a decade. It showed that Uranus completes one full rotation in 17 hours, 14 minutes, and 52 seconds...

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a fascinating image that tricks the eye. It shows a bright star and a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The star and galaxy seem to be neighbors, but they are actually separated by an enormous distance. The star is a mere 7, 109 light-years away, while the galaxy is a staggering 45 million light-years distant. This cosm...

Ever wondered what's happening inside distant galaxies? Astronomers have just found something cool in a galaxy called IRAS 17020+4544. They spotted a superfast wind using the Hubble Space Telescope. This wind was moving at a whopping 23, 430 kilometers per second, which is nearly 8% the speed of light! What's even more interesting is that this wind was previously see...

Scientists using the Hubble Space Telescope have made a surprising discovery: Jupiter's famous Great Red Spot isn't as stable as it appears. Over 90 days, Hubble captured the storm's size changing like a squeezed stress ball, expanding and contracting. This huge storm, big enough to fit Earth inside, is also wiggling like gelatin. The storm's motion and size seem to ...
