NASA Space Technology Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have captured an amazing photo of the lens-shaped spiral galaxy IC 4709.IC 4709’s swirling disk filled with stars and dust bands is beautifully captured by Hubble, as is the faint halo surrounding it. The color image is made up of observations from Hubble’s Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) in the near-infrared and optical parts of the spectrum. It is based on data obtained through two filters. The color results from assigning different hues to each monochromatic image associated with an individual filter. Image credit: NASA / ESA / Hubble / M. Koss / A. Barth.IC 4709 is located approximately 240 million light-years away in the southern constellation of Telescopium.Otherwise known as ESO 182-14 or LEDA 61835, this galaxy has a diameter of 60,000 light-years.IC 4709...

NASA Space Technology Most people are now probably familiar with the story: Two American astronauts were sent to space on an eight-day test mission on a new Boeing spacecraft in June. Now, nearly three months later, NASA announced that they’ll bring the astronauts back on a SpaceX Dragon capsule — which will not arrive until February 2025 for the return flight.Barry “Butch” Wilmore and Sunita “Suni” Williams, both veteran Navy pilots, rode in the Boeing Starliner capsule’s first crewed flight to the International Space Station on June 5. But problems with helium leaks and thruster failures were subsequently discovered and have kept the astronauts in space conducting tests to determine whether the Starliner could bring them safely back to Earth.NASA now says that it would be safer for the pair to hitch a ride back...
