I recently shot a photograph of the Andromeda Galaxy that went viral, appearing everywhere from the front page of Reddit to Newsweek. The photo was taken with a four-inch telescope over the course of multiple nights from my backyard near Charlottesville, Virginia, US.
Astronomers have unveiled the first image of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. It was theorized there was a black hole at the center of the galaxy but this image provides overwhelming evidence that this is the case.
Hubble recently celebrated 32 years of imaging the sky, which has resulted in over 1.4 million observations. Physicist Casey Handmer combined those observations into a single image to see how much of the sky Hubble had actually captured.
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.
A team of international astronomers has discovered what is believed to be the most distant galaxy ever observed. Called HD1, it is 13.5 billion light-years away, 100 million light-years farther from Earth than the last record-holder.
In a new photo captured by Hubble, what appears to be a calm spiral galaxy belies the supermassive black hole at its nucleus.
Hubble has photographed a massive spiral galaxy that lies about 60 million light-years from Earth. Despite its size, it's far from the largest celestial object known to astronomers.
A new image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope showcases a spiral-shaped galaxy that lies around 150 million light-years away. But NASA says not to be fooled: its peaceful state belies a violent past.
Are you a photographer who would love to give deep space imaging a try – but you’re not quite ready to spend thousands of dollars (or more) to build your own astrophotography rig? With remote astrophotography, you can create astonishing images without the high startup costs.
If you’d asked me 5 years ago if I thought a smartphone would ever be able to capture a decent image of the Milky Way my answer would have been a resounding no. With tiny sensors and small lenses that aren’t capable of guiding much light onto the sensor there’s no way they’re ever going to be much use in such low-light conditions, right? Well, ask me the same question today and my answer would be a lot different.
Travel and adventure photography blog Capture the Atlas has released the results of its annual Milky Way Photographer of the Year, a collection of 25 stunning photos showcase the night sky from locations all over the world.
Finnish astrophotographer J-P Metsavainio has released a Milky Way photo that took him nearly 12 years to create. The 1.7-gigapixel image has a cumulative exposure time of 1,250 hours.
The Royal Museums Greenwich hosts an annual competition for the best astronomy photos of the year and as a reminder that the deadline for the 2021 competition is fast closing, the organization has announced the people's choice winner from the 2020 competition.
Samsung has announced the Galaxy S21 Ultra as part of its Galaxy Unpacked event, and the phone looks like a marked improvement over the previous design. Specifically with the camera, the phone now features four cameras, including a new 108-megapixel "pro sensor."
In an effort to research how the center of the Milky Way Galaxy formed what is known as a "galactic bulge," Scientists used a Dark Energy Camera to survey a portion of the sky and capture a photo of billions of stars.
NASA has a new project that turns space photos into sounds. Using sonification, images obtained from telescopes are turned into "music" that sounds like what you'd hear when your operating system boots up.
NASA has just published a stunning, one-of-a-kind time-lapse captured by the Hubble telescope. The short video shows an exploding star (AKA a supernova) in a galaxy 70-million light-years from Earth—a fireworks show so bright it outshone every other star in its galaxy before fading into oblivion.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich’s Insight Investment 2020 Astrophotographer of the Year, Nicolas Lefaudeux, has revealed his technique and the simple DIY adapter that made his award-winning image of the Andromeda galaxy possible.
The Royal Observatory Greenwich has just unveiled the winners of the coveted 2020 Astronomy Photographer of the Year awards. And this year's top prize went to a beautiful photograph of the Andromeda galaxy that makes it seem as if you could actually reach out and touch it.
