Fast radio bursts were first detected in 2001. Since then, astronomers have found a couple of dozen FRBs, but they still don’t know what causes these rapid and powerful bursts of radio emission.
Using the Green Bank Telescope, researchers with Breakthrough Listen recently detected repeating fast radio bursts coming from a distant galaxy.
A new research study by a group of astronomers, based on observation using the VLTI, has created the most detailed map of a star other than the Sun.
weJames Webb telescope will study the “ocean worlds” of Jupiter’s moon Europa and Saturn’s moon Enceladus, the telescope’s observations could also help guide future missions to the icy moons.
Thanks to an amplified image produced by a gravitational lens, and the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS a team of scientists have discovered one of the brightest galaxies known.
The 20 new worlds have been found around eight bright, Sun-like stars by the HARPS Echelle Spectograph instrument, mounted on the 3.6m telescope at the European Southern Observatory in Chile.
The researchers have produced an intricate 3D rendering of newly formed molecules inside the supernova remnant using ALMA telescope.
Analyzing a galaxy through a gravitational lens, astronomers obtained images 10 times sharper than Hubble could see on its own.
NASA’s Kepler space telescope team has identified 219 new planet candidates, 10 of which are near-Earth size and in the habitable zone of their star
The construction of the world’s largest telescope has begun. Officials gathered to celebrate the first stone of the European Extremely Large Telescope’s (E-ELT) long-awaited construction.
The next generations will be fed a steady diet of images and discoveries stemming from the Super Telescopes. And the LUVOIR will be front and centre among those ‘scopes.
The aging space observatory, which launched into low Earth orbit on April 24, 1990, kicked off this year's birthday celebration with some dazzling new views of a pair of spiral galaxies.
The WFIRST mission, the next in the agency’s line of powerful observatories after the Hubble and James Webb telescopes to probe the make-up of planets around nearby stars and a bigger-than-expected launch vehicle.
The Event Horizon Telescope, or EHT, is a network of around ten radio telescope observatories across the planet, synchronized via the most precise atomic clocks, and pointed directly at the center of our galaxy.
One particular goal of JWST involves observing some of the most distant events and objects in the Universe. Another goal is understanding the formation of stars and planets. This will include direct imaging of exoplanets.
