In 2006, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope captured a blurrier version of the same scene. The HH 49/50 outflow earned its nickname "Cosmic Tornado" thanks to its twisting, storm-like appearance.

Frothy and resembling an ice cream sundae — that’s how NASA described a newly-released, stunning image of a cosmic tornado from its James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope captured an image ...

NASA has just released a new documentary about the most powerful space telescope ever built, and you can watch it now.

A powerful “Cosmic Tornado” has received a high-definition glow-up thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The new look at Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) released today also ...

From a Mars rover selfie to an astronaut's view of the flower moon, these space images will give you a new perspective on our planet and our universe.
