New Images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope show Saturn in both infrared and visible light.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) continues to deliver awe-inspiring views of the cosmos and the art world has taken notice. Digital artist Ashley Zelinskie took that inspiration to the next level with the first of a three part exhibit in 2022, called ...

Viewing Saturn in complementary wavelengths, the two space telescopes reveal more about what makes up the layers of Saturn's atmosphere.

The Hubble Space Telescope was designed to free astronomers of a limitation that has plagued them since the days of Galileo—Earth's atmosphere. Shifting air pockets in the atmosphere block and distort light, limiting the view from even the most powerful Earth-bound instruments.

The world’s first commercial space science telescope, Mauve, just sent back data from low-Earth orbit, achieving “first light” — and signaling a potential new era for low-cost observation. Launched Nov. 28, 2025, aboard SpaceX’s Transporter-15 ...

Astronomers have spotted a bizarre cosmic explosion that refuses to play by the rules—and it’s leaving scientists scrambling for answers. GRB 250702B, detected by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and a global network of observatories,

Space telescopes are revolutionizing exoplanet discovery, allowing astronomers to detect Earth-like worlds orbiting distant stars. By observing subtle dimming of starlight, measuring gravitational effects, and analyzing atmospheric spectra, these ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered new evidence that sheds light on what scientists know about black holes. Launched more than four years ago, the infrared observatory, and successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, was used to target a ...

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt is trying to do for astronomy what cheap cloud computing did for software, backing a space telescope larger than Hubble at a cost he describes as “ridiculously” low compared with traditional government missions.
