NASA and SpaceX have agreed to investigate if it would be possible to boost the Hubble Space Telescope into a higher, more stable orbit with a Dragon spacecraft in order to extend its lifespan.
The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope both managed to capture detailed images of the impact of the planetary defense Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). It is the first time that Webb and Hubble have simultaneously observed the same celestial target.
NASA's planetary defense Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) concluded earlier this week and the first photos taken by a small “mini photographer” spacecraft called the LICIACube have been published.
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.
A 1957 Leica MP black paint edition, the same year and model as the one that sold for $1.34 million about a year ago, is coming to auction next month.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a photo of Neptune that displays the clearest view of the planet's rings in more than 30 years.
NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) is the world's first planetary defense test mission and it has deployed a smaller "mini photographer" spacecraft that will record all of the details of its planned impact with an asteroid.
A team of astronomers used three NASA space telescopes to create a composite image of the remains of a supernova that reveals details about the star's death.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team has translated some of the telescope's first photos into music. Called sonification, the goal is to make the JWST's image and data understandable through sound to help listeners create their own mental images.
The James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) has been used to capture a gorgeous and mesmerizing photo of the heart of galaxy M74, also known as the Phantom Galaxy.
NASA will soon launch the Artemis I which will fly 40,000 miles beyond the Moon and back to demonstrate the capability of sending humans back to lunar orbit. To celebrate, NASA wants to see everyone's best moon photos in its #NASAMoonSnap campaign.
Scientists say that their attempts to find exoplanets that could host life -- basically, another Earth -- could be obscured by what they refer to as planetary "photobombers," which could dramatically alter results.
Fans of astrophotography are currently feasting thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, but Hubble isn't ready to be forgotten yet. Its latest capture is a gorgeous glittering star cluster in the constellation Sagittarius.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has aimed its impressive camera system relatively close to home and captured a pair of gorgeous photos of Jupiter's auroras.
NASA astronaut Bob Hines photographed the aurora from the International Space Station (ISS) capturing a spectacular image of the magical lights dancing on the Earth's surface.
While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has dominated headlines, the Hubble Space Telescope shouldn't be forgotten. The legendary observatory recently captured this gorgeous photo that showcases the colors of the Orion Nebula.
New research on Antarctica found in two separate studies that reference multiple optical and radar satellite sensors has revealed that the ice loss in Antarctica is much worse than previous estimates.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a glimpse of Earendel, the oldest and most distant star ever observed that was first discovered by the Hubble Space Telescope earlier this year.
New research has revealed the most famous photographs of all time -- with NASA's iconic "Man on the Moon" photo from 1969’s Apollo 11 mission topping the list.
While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has already proven its scientific value with its spectacularly detailed photos, the technology that was developed to align its iconic mirrors is having an effect that is much closer to home.
A spectacular photo of a huge set of rings surrounding a black hole has been captured by the NASA Chandra X-Ray Observatory and Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory.
NASA has revealed dramatic photos that show water levels retreating in Lake Mead which is critical to both the supply of water and electricity across the southwestern United States. The startling images of the largest reservoir in the U.S. demonstrate clearly how much it has shrunk over the past 20 years.
July 20, International Moon Day, marked the 53rd anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing. To celebrate, NASA released a video that revisits the mission's landing point on the Moon to reveal the astronaut's tracks are still there after all this time.
As part of an ongoing Historical Photography Series, science-based photographer and YouTuber, Michael "The Maven" Andrew has released a video detailing 50 facts about the planning and execution of the Apollo 11 Lunar mission and subsequent photo shoot.
NOVA, a PBS award-winning science series, has premiered a new special that chronicles the James Webb Space Telescope's journey into space through the capture of its first incredible photos.
NASA has finally published the first colorized, full-resolution photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and the detail and resolution of the images is incredible, especially when compared to the images of these same cosmic objects captured by Hubble.
NASA has shared all five of the first full-color photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope which demonstrate the full power of its imaging capability and officially kicks off its mission to unfold the infrared universe.
The James Webb Space Telescope's first full-color photo has been revealed, and comparing it side-by-side to the same area that was imaged by Hubble shows just how much more detail Webb’s camera is capable of capturing.
United States President Joe Biden has shared the first full-color photo taken by the James Webb Space Telescope as a preview of the full set of five images that will be shared publicly on July 12.
