The Super Pressure Balloon Imaging Telescope (SuperBIT) was recently carried about 20.5 miles (32.9 kilometers) above Earth's surface on a massive NASA helium balloon, capturing the balloon-based telescope's first research images.
NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (NGRST or Roman) will feature two primary instruments, a 300.8-megapixel infrared Wide Field Instrument (WFI) and a Coronagraph designed for studying faint objects, when it launches in 2027. The NASA Goddard team recently installed a vital subsystem for the space telescope's Wide Field Instrument.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning "smash-up" of two spiral galaxies. Collectively called Arp 220, the collision of the pair of galaxies has facilitated massive star formation.
Since NASA shared the first five images from the James Webb Space Telescope last July, astronomers have been busy using the telescope to study the cosmos and uncover new information about the origins of the universe. Scott Pelley took a closer look at Webb and its images in the most recent episode of "60 Minutes."
Astronomers used NASA's Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the International Gemini Observatory to discover a distant, lonely galaxy that has assimilated its former nearby galaxies, essentially having cannibalized its neighbors.
Nikon has announced that it has invested a financial stake in Unistellar SAS, a France-based smart telescope company. Nikon says that it hopes the investment will promote "the creation of business synergies" for both companies.
Photographers around the world may want to point their lenses to the western night sky tonight to capture a rare image of five planets lined up.
Husband and wife photographer team Antoine and Dalia Grelin spent 81 hours capturing a photo of NGC 2264, a large and colorful nebula 2,500 light-years away in the constellation Monoceros, not far from the famous Orion Nebula.
New photos from Hubble show what scientists call "spokes" across Saturn's rings. First seen by NASA's Voyager in the 1980s, these spokes appear seasonally and scientists still can't fully explain them.
Astronomers have raised concerns over a new satellite that is now one of the brightest objects in the night sky that could also hinder astrophotographers.
Researchers at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory are nearly done with the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera, the world's largest digital camera ever built for astronomy.
NASA has successfully crashed a spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos. The first time ever that Earth has demonstrated planetary defense technology.
NASA is set to intentionally crash its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft into the asteroid Dimorphos tonight, and thanks to a , viewers on earth will be able to watch the first-ever planetary defense test in through a dedicated livestream.
The Vaonis Vespera Observation Station is a small robotic telescope designed to be smart and fully automated, taking the guesswork out of astronomy and making it easy for beginners to start their journey.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich has announced the Astronomy Photographer of the Year winners for 2022, the 14th edition of the competition. The winning image this year is a photo of Comet Leonard, a subject that will never been seen from Earth again.
Astronomer Jasmine Singh has shared a fascinating comparison of the earliest photograph ever taken of Jupiter and the most recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image of the planet.
A prominent French physicist is apologizing after admitting that a viral "distant star" photo he shared on Twitter was not actually captured by the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) but was rather just a slice of chorizo pork sausage.
Canon has partnered with an Australian university to bundle 10 Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS II lenses together into what they call the Huntsman Telescope to scout the skies from the Southern Hemisphere.
The first task I give photography students is to create a starscape. To do this, I ask them to sweep the floor beneath them, collect the dust and dirt in a paper bag, and then sprinkle it onto a sheet of 8x10 inch photo paper. Then, using the photographic enlarger, expose the detritus-covered paper to light.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich's annual Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2022 competition has revealed this year's shortlisted photos from all over the globe.
In a unique lunar composite that took ten years to complete, Italian teacher and astrophotographer Marcella Giulia Pace captured all the different colors she observed of a full Moon.
Astrophotography. We hear the term tossed around a lot these days but what actually is it? The true definition of the word is photography of the nighttime sky. The sky only—at night.
French astrophotographer Thierry Legault captured the full Moon rising under one of the most famous monuments in Paris, the Arc de Triomphe.
NASA is celebrating the Hubble Space Telescope's 32nd birthday through a remarkable photo that shows a collection of five closely-knit galaxies called The Hickson Compact Group 40.
Astrophotographer Jason Guenzel captured a photo of the James Webb Space Telescope as it flew through space toward its final distant parking orbit. The image was captured while the telescope was 1 million kilometers (620,000 miles) away.
A massive and "potentially hazardous" asteroid measuring 0.68 miles (1.1km) wide flew past the Earth at over 43,000 miles per hour on Tuesday. Photographer Andrew McCarthy managed to capture real-time footage showing what the flyby looked like in the night sky.
