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 ...

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.

The Hubble Space Telescope is a masterwork of engineering and human ingenuity. Hubble is comparable in size and weight to a large school bus, but its contributions to science and astronomy could ...

Captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), this image uses false colors to highlight certain structural details. Lynds 483 is too sprawling to fit within JWST’s field of view, and so is ...

NASA launching SPHEREx and PUNCH missions this weekend 04:12. A NASA space telescope on a mission to map millions of galaxies has turned on its detectors for the first time, capturing images of ...

CCOR-1, the world’s first operational, space-based coronagraph, began observing the sun’s corona, the faint outermost layer of the solar atmosphere, on Sept. 19.

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 newest space telescope rocketed into orbit to map the entire sky like never before — a sweeping look at hundreds of millions of galaxies and their shared cosmic glow since the beginning ...

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 ...
