NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is performing even better than scientists anticipated after engineers completed an extensive series of tests and precision adjustments. The work has brought the observatory's powerful instruments into exceptionally sharp focus, with its main camera…
Astronomers have identified a star whose colour would be perceived by the human eye as green for the first time. TodayPress TV reports, citing CNN, that the findings were published in the journal RAS Techniques and Instruments. The object is…
The legendary Hubble Space Telescope, operated by NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), captured a dazzling snapshot of a large galaxy (NGC 169) pulling cosmic material away from a smaller galaxy (IC 1559). "As common as these interactions are thought to…
Published Oct 17, 2026 8:51 AM EDT Using the NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team of researchers led by University of Minnesota astrophysicist Mason Huberty had a closer look at a group of almost 10,000 galaxies spanning billions of light-years in the Fornax…
Scientists have discovered a powerful new way to decode the weather on distant worlds, revealing surprisingly organized patterns hidden within the turbulent atmosphere of a mysterious object 20 light-years from Earth. Researchers at Trinity College Dublin used observations from NASA's James…
The Milky Way’s central black hole could lose mass by powering escaping particles, and new calculations suggest how astronomers might detect the process. Most of the intense radiation associated with actively feeding black holes originates from surrounding matter rather than…
Astronomers for the first time have identified a green star, documenting a dense stellar remnant called a white dwarf that became a ghostly shade of chartreuse after ingesting rocky debris from planets that once had orbited it.A star's color…
Every piece of equipment that comes our way, whether a camera, a lens or an accessory, gets the same level of careful scrutiny. We discover what products are good at and what they are not so you don’t have to.
Astronomers discovered that WASP-17b has an uneven atmosphere, with extreme temperature differences between its morning and evening sides. Planets appear as perfectly round disks when they cross in front of their stars, and astronomers have long measured them that way.
Some 484 million miles from coronavirus-beleaguered Earth lies the gas giant Jupiter, and its stormy, magnificent atmosphere. One of the latest images NASA's Juno spacecraft sent back to Earth shows a view of the planet's churning northern region. Juno captured it…
