The James Webb Space Telescope is celebrating three years from its launch. Its discoveries have already changed our understanding of the early universe.
Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have found an unusual mark from a giant black hole’s powerful jet striking an unidentified object in its path.
Using the largest gravitational wave detector ever made, we have confirmed earlier reports that the fabric of the Universe is constantly vibrating.
Researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Solar Observatory have successfully mapped the magnetic fields of the sun's atmospheric corona.
For the first time, astronomers have captured images of a star other than the Sun in enough detail to track the motion of bubbling gas on its surface.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of its launch, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory is releasing 25 never-before-seen views of a wide range of cosmic objects.
Using JWST, astronomers have discovered a new exoplanet; a gas giant they've named Eps Ind Ab.
james Webb Space Telescope continues to revolutionise astronomy - it now shows the birth of a star. The star is named L1527, and at this young age, it's still ensconced in the molecular cloud that spawned it.
Another amazing image has been released that shows the triple-star system HP Tau, HP Tau G2, and HP Tau G3. HP Tau is so young that it hasn't started to fuse hydrogen yet and is only 10 million years old!
An international team of researchers has produced the first sharp radio maps of the universe at low frequencies. Thanks to a new calibration technique, they bypassed the disturbances of the Earth's ionosphere.
The observatory has achieved this milestone over 28 years in space, even though it was never designed to be a comet hunter.
MeerKAT telescope has already achieved some great results, from detecting giant radio galaxies to studying the centre of our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
The vast majority of exoplanets are uninhabitable. For the few that may be habitable, we can only determine if they are by examining their atmospheres. LIFE, the Large Interferometer for Exoplanets, can help.
It’s oh-so-easy to be absolutely mesmerized by these spiral galaxies. Follow their clearly defined arms, which are brimming with stars, to their centers, where there may be old star clusters and – sometimes – active supermassive black holes.
The picture, resembling a glowing blue marble rippling into a black ocean, was funneled through the telescope’s infrared filters to capture wavelengths future space travelers wouldn’t see with the naked eye.
