How space telescopes capture distant galaxies using infrared imaging, precision optics, and astronomy technology beyond Earth's atmosphere.

The Egg Nebula, located around 1,000 light years away, is home to a dying star entering last phase of its life.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new imagery of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. It is 11,000 light-years away in ...

A dazzling new Hubble image peels back the layers of the mysterious Egg Nebula, a rare and fleeting phase in a Sun-like star’s death just 1,000 light-years away. Hidden inside a dense cocoon of dust, ...

Atop the mountain Cerro Armazones in Chile, construction is underway on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), which will usher ...

NASA's SPHEREx space telescope detected organic molecules coming off comet 3I/ATLAS as the interstellar visitor made its closest approach to Earth in December.

Planned launch of 500,000 satellites could spoil about one in three Hubble images, even when the telescope stays above Earth's weather.

Hubble’s latest image reveals a young pre planetary nebula where a dying star expels dust and light. Why does this brief phase matter so much for understanding stellar evolution?
