Images of the cosmos, such as the James Webb Space Telescope’s deep space snapshot, make space look chock-full of stuff. In ...

Dr. Caitlin Casey, an observational astronomer, has recently joined the physics department at UC Santa Barbara. She co-leads the C.O.S.M.O.S. collaboration — a project distinguished by its deep ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been unwaveringly focused on our universe. With its unprecedented power to detect and ...

With the release of its first images this month, the Vera C. Rubin Observatory has begun a 10-year mission to help unravel the mystery of dark matter. The observatory will continue the legacy of its ...

The Rubin Observatory will reveal its first images on Monday. Space.com spoke to scientists who explained why this will be a monumental event for astronomy.

The Hubble Deep Field (HDF-N) observations obtained in 1995 December established a standard for such narrow, deep surveys. The held has been extensively analyzed by a variety of groups and has been ...

In 2004, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF), with its Advanced Camera for Surveys, provided an unprecedented view of distant galaxies in a small patch of space -- about one-hundredths the size of ...

Before NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured its iconic Hubble Deep Field, some astronomers were hesitant to take the ambitious imagery. But the director of Hubble's science mission took the risk.

Enter the Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched into Earth orbit 35 years ago this week (April 24) aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. With a diameter of “only” 94 inches, it’s hardly ...

In all 25 of Hubble’s maps that show Jupiter’s north pole, Tsubota and Berkeley astronomer and co-author Michael Wong found only two northern UV-dark ovals.

Dark ovals in Jupiter's polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths, were first noticed 25 years ago, then ignored. A new study shows that these dark UV ovals are common, appearing at the south ...

And because Hubble came along at the beginning of widespread internet use, the images were easily accessible. Hubble also showed us that the universe is even more complex and weird than we thought.
