The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered newborn stars within the Orion Nebula, which look genuinely incredible! Even with the unaided eye, the Orion Nebula is one of the brightest star-forming areas visible in the night sky, so seeing ...
Astronomers, philosophers, scientists in general, and even ordinary people have been hoping for centuries to encounter civilizations from other planets. That moment may finally be here after China made a huge announcement that the giant ‘Sky Eye’ telescope might have ...
According to best calculations, there might be 10 million to 1 billion stellar-mass black holes floating calmly and silently around the galaxy. When it comes to counting them, there’s just one problem: they’re virtually undetectable until they manage to catch ...
Massive networks of satellites are being launched, making it more challenging to acquire a clear glimpse of the universe. These fast-moving, low-orbiting spacecraft create brilliant streaks in telescope photographs. The International Astronomical Union is developing a new center to concentrate ...
Astronomers have identified a strange planet not present in our solar system orbiting other stars. It is neither too large nor too tiny but falls between the Earth’s and Neptune’s radii. Dense “super-Earths,” more prominent than Earth, are found near ...
The dwarf galaxy appears in a swirl of dazzling light and crimson colors in the new photograph. The small, oddly shaped galaxy has been dubbed a “cosmic oddity” by the European Space Agency (ESA). The ESA reported that the NGC ...
An international team of researchers from the University of Bern and the University of Geneva and the National Centre of Competence in Research (NCCR) examined the atmosphere of one of the most extreme known planets. The findings of this hot, ...
A group of astrophysicists may soon have a key to unraveling the puzzle of life’s beginnings. On December 25, the James Webb Space Telescope was launched into orbit from French Guiana, South America. Webb is the biggest and most powerful ...
NASA successfully launched the biggest and most powerful space telescope ever built on December 25 from Earth. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will use unparalleled technology to see both close and far, from our solar system’s planets and bodies ...
The world always needs more powerful tools to look deeper into the wonders of the Cosmos. Until only one hundred years ago, astronomers were sure that the Universe is infinite in space and time, and there’s no wonder why. All ...
