Space observatories

The James Webb Space Telescope captured the iconic "Pillars of Creation," huge structures of gas and dust teeming with stars, NASA said on Oct. 19, and the image is as majestic as one could hope.

The twinkling of thousands of stars illuminates the telescope's first shot of the gigantic gold, copper and brown columns standing in the midst of the cosmos.

A stellar nursery nicknamed the Tarantula Nebula has been captured in crisp detail by NASA's Webb telescope, revealing hitherto unseen features that deepen scientific understanding, the agency said on Sept. 6.

The James Webb space telescope has revealed dazzling new detail of a previously known slice of the cosmos 32 million light-years away, in a new picture released by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA).

The infrared technology of the telescope, launched in December 2021, has allowed for an even clearer view of the so-called Phantom Galaxy than astronomers had ever seen before.

The world's newest and biggest space telescope is showing Jupiter as never before, auroras and all.

Scientists released the shots on Aug. 22 of the solar system's biggest planet.

Scientists on April 24 celebrated the Hubble Space Telescope's 30th anniversary with a new image of a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way.

In a statement, U.S. space agency NASA said the galaxy in the image - located 163,000 light-years away- away from Earth- and included the giant red nebula NGC 2014, as well as its smaller blue neighbor NGC 2020.

It is 20% larger than Earth and orbits around its star for 37 days

NASA has announced that its exoplanet-seeking satellite TESS has discovered a new planet the size of Earth that is within a habitable distance of its star and where there may be liquid water, BTA reported.

An observatory in eastern Turkey will receive the first light from space by the end of 2021.

A unique discovery brings us closer to the space age.  Scientists have detected water vapor in the atmosphere of a distant planet.  The discovery marks a new stage in the search for signs of life beyond the solar system.

TESS has found 24 new planets.

NASA's TESS (The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite is a space telescope for NASA's Explorers program) has discovered a total of three planets around a star, located about 73 light-years from our own solar system, and one has a composition comparable to Earth's, according to BGNES.

Nasa is planning to launch a telescope that will ride on a SpaceX rocket designed to hunt for 20,000 new worlds, the Guardian writes.

The planet-hunting spacecraft Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, baptised Tess, is set to take off from Cape Canaveral in Florida.
