Even small asteroids can do a lot of damage—and new research shows the James Webb Space Telescope is adept at spotting the tiniest of space rocks. A time-lapse of images from NASA’s James Webb ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a baby, Milky Way-like galaxy that formed more than 13 billion years ago. This "Firefly Sparkle" galaxy could reveal how our own galaxy evolved.

On May 20, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent its first image to Earth. This photo turned out to be 50% sharper than images from ground-based telescopes. In August of that year, Hubble made one ...

The image, using data taken by several space telescopes, shows a star cluster called NGC 602, located in a nearby satellite galaxy of the Milky Way called the Small Magellanic Cloud. The image ...

Often referred to as field scopes or digiscopes, they bridge the gap between a monocular and a telescope, offering impressive magnifications while remaining compact and portable. The standout ...

In the years since, researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed that the current expansion rate, called the Hubble constant, is faster than what standard cosmology models estimate ...

A grand spiral galaxy takes center stage in a new image from the Hubble Space Telescope. The galaxy, known as NGC 5643, is located roughly 40 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Lupus.

The availability of the James Webb Space Telescope is finally giving astronomers the tools they need to measure this aspect of space more accurately. A new study led by Nobel laureate Adam Reiss ...

Astronomers may have discovered the oldest objects ever observed by pushing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to its limits. These incredibly distant structures date back to only 200 million years ...

For the first time, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected and “weighed” a galaxy that not only existed around 600 million years after the big bang, but is also similar to what our Milky Way ...

Our universe appears to be expanding about eight percent faster than initially assumed possible, according to new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope. There has been a long ...
