When it comes to telescopes, there are no bigger names than Hubble and Webb, but why have two space telescopes anyway, how ...

Though these thoughts sound like mostly a dream to us, for over 30 years in orbit, it has been the Hubble Space Telescope's reality. Hubble can see the cosmos with such impossible clarity from its ...

Depicting a section of the universe known as the COSMOS-Web field, the new map is far more expansive than even the iconic Hubble Ultra Deep Field, a view of 10,000 galaxies NASA released in 2004.

The Hubble COSMOS field. NASA/JPL-Caltech. Webb vs. Hubble surveys. These galaxies will be very bright in the infrared wavelengths that JWST observes in, ...

Hubble and its fellow observatories give us an unprecedented, crystal-clear look at the far reaches of the cosmos. Explore these orbiting pioneers and learn what they've discovered.

From their safe vantage points, Hubble and JWST were able to capture the convergence of two smaller galaxy clusters in this region of the cosmos that, one day, will likely violently combine into a ...

For years, astronomers have been working to piece together the story of our universe, but the critical early chapters ...

About 11.5 billion years ago, a distant star roughly 530 times larger than our sun died in a cataclysmic explosion that blew its outer layers of gas into the surrounding cosmos, a supernova ...

After many hours of staring unblinking at a small patch of sky, JWST has given us the most detailed map ever obtained of a corner of the Universe.

On Oct. 4, 1923, Edwin Hubble took a photographic plate of the Andromeda Nebula (as it was known then) using the 100-inch Hooker telescope at Mount Wilson. The next night, he took another plate ...

Hubble’s capacity to observe the cosmos is dropping 12 to 25 percent. NASA held a teleconference on Tuesday to explain the 34-year-old telescope’s status, after it entered safe mode on May 24.

And for the next 27 years, as we indeed learned more, "Hubble" would be the name attached to nearly every stunning piece of the remote cosmos transported to Earth. Then came July 11, 2022 -- the ...
