Space experts are warning that an asteroid named 2023 DW, could collide with Earth on Valentine’s Day in 2046. The 50-meter-wide asteroid was discovered by the European Space Agency on February 26, 2023. It is expected to take over two decades to reach Earth, possibly even three. The asteroid has been added to the “risk […]
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 […]
The X-ray vision of the NuSTAR Telescope reveals some of the most burning regions in the Sun’s atmosphere. Human eyes cannot see all of the light that our closest star emits, not even on a sunny day. The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array of NASA captures a new image that shows part of this hidden light. […]
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 […]
The massive asteroid is the size of the Washington Monument. This demonstrates the power of the powerful telescope in discovering celestial objects even in our own backyard. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered the smallest asteroid estimated to be the size of Rome’s Colosseum. The JWST is have caught various small objects since its […]
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. […]
A New Glimpse into Cosmic Phenomena The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) never fails to astonish with its detailed images of celestial bodies. One of its most recent captures showcases Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211)—jets of star matter erupting from a young star at breakneck speeds. Where Does HH 211 Reside? Situated in the constellation Perseus, […]
In the solar system. to observe the existence of certain stunning spiral galaxies, tools like telescopes are used. How did Hubble revolutionize the astronomical world with stunning spiral galaxies? The greatest important development in astronomy until Galileo’s telescope occurred with the launch and activation of Hubble in April 1990. Our understanding of cosmic phenomena and […]
The Allure of the Northern Lights in 2024 The spectacle of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, has always captivated many. But as we approach 2024, the allure is about to become even more breathtaking. Due to increasing solar activity, the next 18 months leading into 2024 promise a once-in-a-lifetime celestial display of the Northern […]
