A Chinese X-ray space telescope has already made several discoveries during its initial commissioning phase. The Einstein Probe, featuring lobster-eye optics and European participation, launched ...

This mid-infrared image of colliding galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207 from the James Webb Space Telescope shows two large, luminous “eyes” at the galaxies’ cores, some 80 million light-years away.

NASA's SPHEREx telescope 'opens its eyes on the universe', taking stunning debut image of 100,000 galaxies and stars 'Staggering' first images from Vera C. Rubin Observatory show 10 million ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a peculiar region of space that could be a “missing link” to what’s understood about the early days of space and its original stars.

Launched in 2021 as the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, Webb observed the scene in the infrared. NASA said in a statement it was “a lucky alignment” of the two unrelated objects.

I worked with Schneider on the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, or STIS, a camera that flew up to Hubble on the Space Shuttle Discovery in 1997 and is still operational today.

A rare look at NASA’s next sharp-eyed space telescope. In a giant “clean room” in Maryland, engineers are assembling the Roman telescope, aiming for launch no later than 2027.

On April 24, 1990, NASA and the European Space Agency launched an astronomical revolution. When the Space Shuttle Discovery roared into the sky on that day, it carried the Hubble Space Telescope ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen, with features appearing like grains and knots found in a cut of wood. "Once upon a time ...

We expect the James Webb Space Telescope will obtain a few thousand such measurements. SPHEREx will generate 8 million new spectroscopic images of life-bearing molecules. This will revolutionise ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS ...
