Once the observatory begins full operations, the 8.4-meter Simonyi Survey telescope, along with its 3.2-gigapixel Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) camera the size of a car, will capture the ...

As the data from each image is quickly shuffled to the observatory’s computer servers, the telescope will pivot to the next patch of sky, taking a picture every 40 seconds or so. It will do that ...

NGC 6357 is known as an emission nebula, a region of space where gas is ionized by extreme ultraviolet radiation, which, in the case of NGC 6357, is caused by its massive young blue-white stars ...

Operating far past its expected life span, the telescope captures data that answer some of space’s biggest questions—and make glorious images. A colorized composite image captures the Veil Nebula.

Webb discovered dozens of small, powerful galaxies from 800 million years ago that likely drove cosmic reionization by emitting strong ultraviolet radiation. Astronomers using data from NASA ’s James ...

The interactive online map, created using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, details some 800,000 galaxies across a vast cosmic distance – which in astronomy amounts to peering back in ...

This image shows a simulated observation from NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope with an overlay of its Wide Field Instrument’s field of view. More than 20 gravitational lenses, with examples ...
