The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has done it again, delivering a spectacular image of the cosmos that is a veritable smorgasbord of color and detail.
When galaxies collide, they don't necessarily destroy the stars within them. As NASA explains, contrary to popular belief, such a galactic "rough-and-tumble" actually triggers the generation of new stars and -- presumably -- planets.
Swedish astronaut Marcus Wandt has just returned from a 20-day voyage into space and he shared some incredible images of the views he saw while in Earth's orbit.
NASA engineers are working hard to resolve a critical issue with the Voyager 1 but communications with the longest-operating spacecraft in history may ultimately be lost.
On February 7, 1984, astronaut Hoot Gibson aimed his camera out of the crew cabin window of the space shuttle Challenger towards Bruce McCandless II as he floated freely in space. What resulted is one of the most, if not the most, iconic photos and most requested images. It turns 40 years old this week.
The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) upended beliefs about the fundamental nature of the Universe, delivering evidence that the Universe was not slowing down, as gravity seemingly implied it must be, but expanding. 25 years later, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) can help scientists make another breakthrough.
The International Space Station (ISS) has been equipped with a large batch of Nikon Z9 cameras as the astronauts there prepare to finally retire the Nikon DSLRs that have served as the primary systems in orbit for years.
Over the weekend, NASA's Juno spacecraft made another close flyby of Jupiter's moon, Io. Like a prior flyby last December, the encounter is designed to help scientists understand the volcanic nature of the moon, the most volcanic in the entire solar system.
The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration and scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR) in Germany used an Earth-sized radio telescope array to observe the jet base of an evolving plasma jet outflow from a supermassive black hole at an unprecedented angular resolution.
The Hubble Space Telescope's new Picture of the Week shows a remarkably dense field of stars. However, what at first glance looks like just a field of stars, spread somewhat irregularly through the frame, the photo shows a considerable portion of a galaxy.
The spiral galaxy UGC 3912 doesn't look like much of a spiral in a new image captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Its unusual and distorted shape is due to a gravitational encounter with a separate galaxy.
Swedish photographer and self-described amateur astronomer Peter Rosén witnessed a magnificent and rare sight in Sweden's night sky on January 8. While watching Venus rise above Stockholm's skyline, Rosén captured a colorful green flash around the planet.
Last week, Japan became the fifth country to land a spacecraft on the Moon successfully. However, the historic accomplishment had its challenges. The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's (JAXA) Smart Lander for Investigating Moon (SLIM) landed upside-down on the lunar surface, preventing the lander from recharging its batteries with its included solar panels.
The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of 19 nearby spiral galaxies as part of its long-term Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS (PHANGS) program.
Not to be outdone by the James Webb Space Telescope and its beautiful new nebula image, the Hubble Space Telescope delivered a pair of fresh new space photos this week.
The James Webb Space Telescope set its sights on a region of ionized interstellar atomic hydrogen in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) this week, delivering one of Webb's most colorful photos yet.
North America has been subjected to some of the most extreme cold in recorded history and views from space emphasize how frigid a couple of major U.S. cities have looked in recent days.
Two powerful solar flares exploded nearly simultaneously on the Sun earlier this week, creating a spectacular and exceptionally rare sight.
While the James Webb Space Telescope has been busy helping scientists solve some of the greatest mysteries of the early Universe, the powerful telescope has also found that many distant galaxies have flattened oval disk and tube-like shapes, unlike the spiral and elliptical structures that are more typically seen in closer galaxies.
While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has delivered many beautiful images, its primary mission is to probe the early Universe and help humanity solve some of the most significant questions it faces. Webb has delivered on this promise by revealing, for the first time, what is in the local environment of galaxies in the very earliest days of the Universe.
150 million light-years from Earth, a relatively small galaxy, UGC 5189A, was the site of a massive supernova, a super-powerful star explosion.
Unistellar, makers of intelligent, automated telescopes like the eQuinox 2, announced two new telescopes at CES: the Odyssey and the Odyssey Pro.
Hubble continues to generate some some outstanding visuals of space and its latest is no exception. However, as much as this photo looks like it portrays a densely packed region of galaxies, reality is not quite so straightforward.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to launch a pair of satellites called the Proba-3 which will do what was previously thought impossible: block out the Sun in order to observe its corona for an extended period of time.
The Quadrantids meteor shower, predicted to be one of the strongest meteor showers of 2024, is slated to peak tonight, January 3, into early tomorrow morning.
NASA's Juno spacecraft has performed nearly 60 flybys of Jupiter and documented close encounters with three of the planet's four largest moons.
