NASA's SPHEREx telescope captures 100,000 celestial objects in one infrared image

NASA said the telescope is expected to collect data on more than 450 million galaxies and more than 100 million stars in the Milky Way by surveying the entire sky in 102 infrared wavelengths.

James Webb telescope reveals oxygen in galaxy from 13.4 billion years ago

Light from JADES-GS-z14-0 has taken 13.4 billion years to reach Earth, revealing a chemically mature galaxy when the universe was less than 300 million years old.

Underwater Mediterranean Sea telescope records most energetic neutrino ever observed

The KM3NeT telescope comprises two detectors, ARCA and ORCA, utilizing seawater to capture Cherenkov light—a bluish glow produced when neutrinos interact with water molecules.

Euclid telescope discovers rare Einstein ring around nearby galaxy NGC 6505

Gravitational lensing occurs when the gravity of a massive object, like a galaxy, warps the fabric of spacetime, bending the light from a more distant background object.

Webb Telescope reveals intricate structures in Cassiopeia A supernova

A light echo is created when a star explodes or erupts, flashing light into surrounding clumps of dust and causing them to shine in an ever-expanding pattern.

Infrared telescopes discover hundreds of previously undetected supermassive black holes

Using IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists identify hundreds of obscured black holes hidden behind gas and dust.

Webb telescope captures 'stunning' images of 19 spiral galaxies

The images let scientists resolve the structure of the clouds of dust and gas from which stars and planets form at a high level of detail in galaxies considered galactic satellites of the Milky Way.

Saturn visible in Israel's night sky at its brightest

While the rings won't be visible to the naked eye any small backyard telescope should show the rings, which will appear as bright oval-shaped disks.

NASA’s Webb Telescope captures the dying star ‘Ring Nebula’ in new detail

The images were captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, which was developed to view objects too old, distant, or faint for the Hubble Telescope.

Hubble telescope captures galaxy clusters merging

Gravitational lensing has the practical effect of a magnifying glass, microscope, or binoculars, and enables scientists to observe celestial bodies that would otherwise be too distant to discern.
