Hubble Seeks Clusters in Lost Galaxy

Handout Photo shows NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image features the spiral galaxy NGC 4535, which is situated about 50 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo (the Maiden). Through a small telescope, this galaxy appears extremely faint, giving it the nickname ‘Lost Galaxy’. With a mirror spanning nearly eight feet (2.4 meters) across and its location above Earth’s light-obscuring atmosphere, Hubble can easily observe dim galaxies like NGC 4535 and pick out features like its massive spiral arms and central bar of stars. This image features NGC 4535’s young star clusters, which dot the galaxy’s spiral arms. Glowing-pink clouds surround many of these bright-blue star groupings. These clouds, called H II (‘H-two’) regions, are a sign that the galaxy is home to especially young, hot, and massive stars that blaze with high-energy radiation. Such massive stars shake up their surroundings by heating their birth clouds with powerful stellar winds, eventually exploding as supernovae. The image incorporat

China: Dust Devil Spins Through Mount Wutai Scenic Area

On May 5, 2025, a dust devil rapidly formed and dissipated within seconds in the Mount Wutai scenic area of Shanxi. The swirling vortex moved swiftly across a path, creating a dramatic contrast against the otherwise calm, mountainous surroundings. According to local meteorological authorities, the dust devil was caused by intense localized surface heating, which triggered the rapid upward movement of warm air.
