Space week in images 14-18 August 2023
Konstantin Borisov from Roscosmos, Andreas Mogensen from the European Space Agency, Jasmin Moghbeli from NASA, and Satoshi Furukawa from JAXA, standing in front of a Falcon 9 rocket, the Hubble Space Telescope captures a clear view of a galaxy cluster and Neptune cloud cover over three decades, the Copernicus Sentinel-4 spectrometer prior to integration on MTG-S1, the edge of earthquake zone, and so much more, in our space week in images.
Discover how the Hubble Space Telescope achieved a historic milestone by directly measuring the mass of an isolated white dwarf star, LAWD 37. This unprecedented observation not only confirms theoretical predictions but also enhances our understanding of stellar evolution. Dive into the innovative techniques that made this possible and explore the profound implications for astrophysics.
