NGC 55 (also Caldwell 72, ESO 293-50, MCG -7-1-13 and PGC 1014) is a magnitude +7.87 Magellanic type barred spiral galaxy located 7.2 ±0.7 million light-years away in the constellation Sculptor. The galaxy was discovered by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop using a homemade 9-foot 22.86 cm (9 inch...
Embedded in the heart of a supernova remnant 10,000 light-years away is a stellar object the likes of which astronomers have never seen before in our galaxy.
At first glance, the object looks like a densely packed stellar corpse known as a neutron star surrounded by a bubble of ejected stellar ma...
NASA Releases New Imagery of Asteroid Mission NASA released Thursday new photos and video animations depicting the agency's planned mission to find, capture, redirect, and study a near-Earth asteroid. The images depict crew operations including the Orion spacecraft's trip to and rendezvous w...
