At only 10 metres wide, the asteroid is too small to be seen with the naked eye or even most telescopes. Nevertheless, the discovery of this mini moon and its brief orbital stay underscore the ...
Two galaxies are merging in the deep cosmos. And the James Webb Space Telescope just captured a vivid view of the scene. The interacting galaxies, called Arp 107, collided hundreds of millions of ...
The region has been observed before in infrared by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope in 2005. However, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope displays it at much higher resolution. This image is a ...
“But the confidence of some astronomers in the Big Bang theory started to weaken when the powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) saw first light.” The launch of the JWST has opened a new window ...
However, you may want to whip out the binoculars, field scope or telescope if you have one to get a better more detailed view of the Earth’s shadow engulfing a portion of the Moon.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been no stranger to taking things to the extreme since its launch on Christmas day 2021, observing early galaxies billions of light-years away that ...
A team of NASA astronomers recently pointed the spacefaring telescope toward the outskirts of our own Milky Way galaxy to get a glimpse of some dense cosmic clouds home to star clusters undergoing ...
Using a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing, it might be possible to use the sun as a gigantic telescope to peer deep into space. We have some incredibly powerful telescopes that have given ...
Coffee table books (all books, really) have long been a decorating essential for interior designers. They’re a simple, accessible way to bring height, personality, color, and texture to a space, and ...
The duo — described rather poetically as ‘two Sumo wrestlers squaring off’ — was found through multiwavelength (visible and X-ray light) observations using the Hubble Space Telescope and ...
The Event Horizon Telescope, a collaboration of radio telescopes throughout the world that work in unison to capture images of supermassive black holes, just achieved its best picture yet. This new ...
A pair of supermassive black hole neighbours have been spotted by two separate telescopes. They are at the closest distance to one another that scientists have ever seen before. Black holes are ...
