Finding asteroids with the JWST is a free benefit, and that it can sometimes spy extremely small space rocks that may elude other telescopes is a welcome discovery. But a more devoted observer is ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of a baby, Milky Way-like galaxy that formed more than 13 billion years ago. This "Firefly Sparkle" galaxy could reveal how our own galaxy evolved.

In this study, we introduce Adaptive Optics to confocal Raman microscopy for the first time to counteract such aberrations, significantly increasing the Raman signal and image quality. The method is ...

The image, using data taken by several space telescopes, shows a star cluster called NGC 602, located in a nearby satellite galaxy of the Milky Way called the Small Magellanic Cloud. The image ...

Here are the best telescopes for looking into deep space — gaze far into the night sky and observe bright stars in Orion and Taurus. The best telescopes for deep space are more specialized than ...

Want to see Mars at its brightest in January? The best telescopes for seeing planets give you the clearest views of our celestial neighbors. The new year is a great time to test out your ...

After the Hubble Space Telescope studied the oldest-known exoplanet in the galaxy, scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to learn how planets were able to form in the early universe.

ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Syntec Optics Holdings, Inc. (“Syntec Optics” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: OPTX), a leading provider of mission-critical products to ...

The Giant Magellan Telescope will deliver up to 200 times the resolution and sensitivity of today's leading telescopes, offering unprecedented power for astronomical discovery. Unique among the new ...
