Webb and Hubble combine to create most colorful view of universe
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope have united to study an expansive galaxy cluster known as MACS0416. The resulting panchromatic image combines visible and infrared light to assemble one of the most comprehensive views of t.....»»
How we"re building the world"s biggest optical telescope to crack some of the greatest puzzles in science
Astronomers get to ask some of the most fundamental questions there are, ranging from whether we're alone in the cosmos to what the nature of the mysterious dark energy and dark matter making up most of the universe is......»»
Scientists show off the wide vision of Europe’s Euclid space telescope
The $1.5 billion Euclid telescope will use light to study the dark Universe. Enlarge / One of the first galaxies that Euclid observed is nicknamed the "Hidden Galaxy." This galaxy, also known as IC 342 or Caldwell 5, is difficult.....»»
Magnetic shielding for particle detectors
Particle physicists who hunt for neutrinos, cosmic-rays and other charged particles rely on sophisticated instruments that detect very faint bursts of light given off when incident particles interact with a medium. The most common such instruments, c.....»»
Supermassive black holes shut down star formation during cosmic noon, says astronomer
Since it became operational almost two years ago, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has produced countless breathtaking images of the universe and enabled fresh insights into how it evolved......»»
Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope could finally tell us if primordial black holes exist
When the universe erupted into existence with the Big Bang, all of its matter was compressed into a tiny area. Cosmologists theorize that in some regions, subatomic matter may have been so tightly packed that matter collapsed into primordial black ho.....»»
The Euclid Space Telescope’s Spectacular First Photos of Distant and Hidden Galaxies
Images from the European Space Agency’s newest telescope show the power of instruments that will create 3D surveys of a third of the sky, covering 10 billion years of cosmic history......»»
Glimpses of the "galactic zoo": The five new Euclid images
The first images from Europe's Euclid space telescope released Tuesday range from a well-known nebula to never-before-seen galaxies 10 billion light years away, illustrating its wide-lens view of the universe......»»
Apple TV+ announces new animated Peanuts feature film project
Apple and its partners at WildBrain have today announced plans for a new Peanuts feature-length movie featuring Snoopy and the gang. The as-yet-untitled project expands the Apple TV+ Peanuts universe, which sees the streamer as the exclusive home of.....»»
New Webb images show gas-rich baby galaxies setting the early universe alight
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have helped Australian astronomers unlock secrets of how infant galaxies started an explosion of star formation in the very early universe......»»
Searching for the supernova neutrino background to the universe
It's a sobering statement that stars like the sun, more accurately all stars will die eventually—yes, even the sun. Don't panic, though, we still have a good few billion years to go so you will get to the end of this article. The more massive stars.....»»
The JWST Has Spotted Giant Black Holes All Over the Early Universe
Giant black holes were supposed to be bit players in the early cosmic story. But James Webb Space Telescope observations are finding an unexpected abundance of the beasts......»»
New-generation RO constellation "spire" challenges COSMIC-2 in atmospheric remote sensing
In a recent study, scientists from the Aerospace Information Research Institute (AIR) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) investigated the performance of a commercial Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Radio Occultation (RO) mission an.....»»
New research sheds light on early galaxy formation
Researchers have developed a new computer simulation of the early universe that closely aligns with observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)......»»
Civilizations are probably spreading quickly through the universe, researchers claim
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has always been plagued by uncertainty. With only one habitable planet (Earth) and one technologically advanced civilization (humanity) as examples, scientists are still confined to theorizing where.....»»
Astronomers want JWST to study the Milky Way core for hundreds of hours
To understand the universe, we need to understand the extreme processes that shape it and drive its evolution. Things like supermassive black holes (SMBHs,) supernovae, massive reservoirs of dense gas, and crowds of stars both on and off the main seq.....»»
Astronomers capture formation of a powerful cosmic jet
Using a network of radio telescopes on Earth and in space, astronomers have captured the most detailed view ever of a jet of plasma from a supermassive black hole. The jet travels at nearly the speed of light and shows complex, twisted patterns near.....»»
