Astronomers have created an enormous 3D map of the universe revealing a glowing “sea of light” from hydrogen gas during the cosmic dawn nearly 11 billion years ago.

In a landmark achievement, the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first exoplanet. About the same mass as Saturn, it was found in a star system about 111 light-years distant. It’s also the ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity ...

Concept design for a rectangular space telescope, modeled after the Diffractive Interfero Coronagraph Exoplanet Resolver (DICER), a notional infrared space observatory, and the James Webb Space ...

— -- As humans, we're limited by what we can see with the naked eye. While we're biologically suited to looking at things up close, our eyes can't zoom in to take a look at far-away objects. But ...

A UCLA-led team has achieved an unprecedented feat: capturing the sharpest image ever recorded of a distant star’s disk—without using a telescope array. The breakthrough was made possible by a novel ...

The smallest smart telescope ever made impresses with both basic and advanced astrophotography options, but images are strictly for sharing ...

To capture higher-definition and sharper images of cosmological objects, astronomers sometimes combine the data collected by several telescopes. This approach, known as long-baseline interferometry, ...

That means if aliens were to exist, and they were located some 66 million light-years from Earth, they’d theoretically still ...
