Astronomers took a picture of the Fomalhaut Dust Belts using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. They did this to study the first asteroid belt ever seen outside of our solar system in infrared light. The researchers were surprised to find that the dusty structures were more intricate than the dust belts found in our solar […]
The “Juice mission” (Jupiter Icy moons Explorer) is an exciting and ambitious project by the European Space Agency (ESA) to explore Jupiter and its three icy moons – Ganymede, Europa, and Callisto – in depth. With a launch date set for April 13, 2023, the mission aims to explore these moons and gain insights into […]
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has enabled an international team of researchers to determine the temperature of TRAPPIST-1 b, a rocky exoplanet. The measurement of temperature relies on the planet’s emission of thermal energy. It is in the form of infrared light that the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) of the Webb telescope detected de. The team’s […]
The universe is vast and complex, and our ability to grasp it is limited by the instruments we have at our disposal. That’s where remarkable space-based observatories like the Spitzer Space Telescope come in – with its advanced infrared capabilities. This telescope allowed us to see the universe in a whole new light. That unlocks […]
Have you ever gazed up at the night sky and wondered about the mysteries of the universe? From the earliest civilizations to modern-day astronomers, we have sought to understand our place in the cosmos. One of the essential tools for this endeavor is the telescope. The universe is vast and mysterious, and astronomers have been […]
Space observatory technology has come a long way since the first satellite (Sputnik 1) was launched into orbit in the late 1950s. A space observatory is a satellite designed to observe the universe and gather data in different wavelengths of light. Today, space observatories are technical instruments that allow us to explore the universe in […]
Quantum technology has expanded astronomy and astrophysics in recent years. Quantum telescopes could transform our understanding of the universe. They detect and study celestial objects using quantum mechanics. And collect universe data using entangled particles instead of light. These telescopes can function at wavelengths that the Earth’s atmosphere usually blocks. It can research exoplanets, black […]
After the successful launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT), NASA is not taking any breaks. NASA is nowhere near stopping, instead of that this space research organization has announced to development of a new large space telescope. In the 241st AAS Meeting, NASA shared James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) new findings and updates. […]
From our cosmic backyard in the solar system to faraway galaxies near the beginning of time, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has done what it said it would in its first year of science operations to show us the universe as we’ve never seen it before. NASA shared a picture of small Sun-like stars forming […]
Now, for the first time, scientists have found an exoplanet by Cheops that shines as brightly as Venus. Aside from the Moon, Venus is the biggest thing we can see in the night sky. Its thick layer of clouds returns about 75% of the Sun’s light. On the other hand, Earth only produces about 30% […]
