Here at Hackaday, we take pride in presenting the freshest hacks and the best of what’s going on today in the world of hardware hacking. But sometimes, we stumble upon …read more Continue reading Celebrating the [Jack Ells] Automatic Photometric Telescope
Gazing at the night sky and pointing out constellations is all well and good, but the arrival of smart digital telescopes has given stargazers the power to capture and share celestial majesty with relative ease. At under 3 lb, the Dwarf III is one of t… Continue reading Book-sized smart telescope captures the night sky with ease
For many decades, the USA has been at the forefront of astronomy, whether with ground-based telescopes or space-based observatories like Hubble and the JWST. Yet this is now at risk …read more Continue reading The New Extremely Large Telescopes and The US’ Waning Influence In Astronomy
Although we have a gaggle of space telescopes floating around these days, there is still a lot of value in ground-based telescopes. These generally operate in the visible light spectrum, …read more Continue reading Tokyo Atacama Observatory Opens As World’s Highest Altitude Infrared Telescope
The SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) National Accelerator Laboratory has announced the completion of the LSST Camera, which is capable of capturing 3,200-megapixel images, and will now be installed on a telescope in Chile to help unravel some … Continue reading World’s largest digital astronomy camera ready to solve cosmic mysteries
At some point we’ve all regretted taking too long to make a move on that special someone, but at least there’s comfort knowing we didn’t take a quarter of all time that’s ever passed. That’s how long the sexual tension has been building between two slo… Continue reading Supermassive sexual tension measured between the heaviest cosmic couple
Telescopes are fun to point around the sky, but they’re even better when you have some idea of what you’re actually looking at. Experienced sky-gazers love nothing more than whipping …read more Continue reading Wireless Telescope Guidance You Can Build On The Cheap
You’d assume that the brightest object in the known universe would be a pretty easy thing to discover, but astronomers have only just spotted it. This overlooked show-off is a supermassive black hole with the mass of 17 billion Suns, and counting – it … Continue reading Brightest object in the universe swallows a Sun every day
When we first developed telescopes, we started using them on the ground. Humanity was yet to master powered flight, you see, to say nothing of going beyond into space. As …read more Continue reading They Want To Put A Telescope In A Crater On The Moon
Mobile apps and AI processing are making things a lot easier for would-be stargazers, who no longer have to fiddle with focusing using cold fingers or even track and identify celestial objects – smart telescopes take care of all that for you. The lates… Continue reading Celestron “home observatory” lets users view the cosmos on a smart TV
