James Webb Space Telescope discovers most distant galaxy MoM-z14
Galaxy's redshift of 14.44 is highest ever confirmed, extending the observational horizon closer to the cosmic dawn.
NASA unveils new Hubble images capturing cosmic wonders
Hubble provides unparalleled images, capturing stunning visuals from Mars to the birth and death of stars.
Webb telescope documents alien planet's death plunge into a star
The James Webb Space Telescope reveals that planets may spiral into their stars, rather than being swallowed by expanding red giants. This changes our understanding of planetary destruction.
China proposes giant radio telescope on Moon's far side with 7,200 antennas by 2035
The project aims to investigate the 'Cosmic Dark Ages,' the period from the Big Bang until the formation of the first stars.
James Webb Space Telescope captures first images of Neptune's auroras
The planet's tilted magnetic field causes auroras far from its rotation poles.
NASA's SPHEREx telescope captures 100,000 celestial objects in one infrared image
NASA said the telescope is expected to collect data on more than 450 million galaxies and more than 100 million stars in the Milky Way by surveying the entire sky in 102 infrared wavelengths.
James Webb telescope reveals oxygen in galaxy from 13.4 billion years ago
Light from JADES-GS-z14-0 has taken 13.4 billion years to reach Earth, revealing a chemically mature galaxy when the universe was less than 300 million years old.
Underwater Mediterranean Sea telescope records most energetic neutrino ever observed
The KM3NeT telescope comprises two detectors, ARCA and ORCA, utilizing seawater to capture Cherenkov light—a bluish glow produced when neutrinos interact with water molecules.
Euclid telescope discovers rare Einstein ring around nearby galaxy NGC 6505
Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.
Webb Telescope reveals intricate structures in Cassiopeia A supernova
A light echo is created when a star explodes or erupts, flashing light into surrounding clumps of dust and causing them to shine in an ever-expanding pattern.
