NASA has managed to restart the Hubble Space Telescope, after aging technology suspended science operations for a month. It seems the iconic instrument’s career may not be coming to an end, as had been feared.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTag… Continue reading Hubble resumes science operations after month of technical issues
The mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs) from space may be a step closer to being solved. Astronomers studying a repeating signal from a nearby galaxy have detected radiation at the lowest frequency of any FRB found so far, providing new potential hints… Continue reading Astronomers detect new frequencies from mysterious fast radio bursts
Since Galileo began observing celestial objects with a telescope, an almost uncountable number of improvements have been made to his designs and methods. Telescopes can now view anything from radio …read more Continue reading Portable Telescope Rolls Anywhere

Astronomers have captured a stunning image of one of the Milky Way’s neighboring spiral galaxies. The portrait was taken using an instrument that was first created to hunt down dark energy – the enigmatic, invisible force that may be responsible for ac… Continue reading Dark energy instrument snaps breathtaking image of galactic neighbor
Astronomers have captured stunning new high-resolution radar images of the Moon, using an experimental instrument mounted on a ground-based telescope. This proof of concept test paves the way for a more powerful radar telescope that could see as far as… Continue reading Experimental planetary radar captures incredible high-res Moon images
A next-generation space observatory has inched closer to lift-off, with NASA unfolding the James Webb Space Telescope’s five-layer sunshield in the same way it expects it to after arriving in orbit. The tests demonstrated how the giant apparatus can un… Continue reading James Webb telescope unfolds its tennis court-sized sunshield
NASA has released a collection of 50 stunning Hubble images to celebrate the veteran telescope’s 30th anniversary, which took place earlier this year. The images show 30 cosmic objects, ranging from planetary nebulae to galaxies in incredible detail, r… Continue reading Hubble gallery showcases 30 cosmic gems visible to amateur astronomers
