ULTRASAT (Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite) is a space telescope in a smallsat format that will detect and monitor transient astronomical events in the near-ultraviolet (220–280 nm) spectral region. ULTRASAT will observe a large patch of sky with a 210 square degrees field of view, alternating every six months between the southern ...

Following a travel time of 30 days after launch, it began to orbit the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2 [3] in an eclipse-free halo orbit about 1 million km wide. Upon receiving the initial images, a problem surfaced as scientists discovered a small gap in the spacecraft's hull.
Zooming in on a portion of the Euclid telescope's map 600 times reveals the galaxies within the cluster Abell 3381, located 470 million light-years away from Earth.
The telescope was released from the upper stage 27 minutes 7 seconds after launch, beginning a 30-day adjustment to place the telescope in a Lissajous orbit around the L 2 Lagrange point. [ 24 ] The telescope was launched with slightly less speed than needed to reach its final orbit, and slowed down as it travelled away from Earth, in order to ...
The Webb telescope will then take a month to coast to its destination in solar orbit roughly 1 million miles from Earth - about four times farther away than the moon. NASA's revolutionary new ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy. As the largest telescope in space, it is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instruments, allowing it to view objects too old, distant , or faint for the Hubble Space Telescope . [ 9 ]
The Webb telescope is the only operating telescope that is capable of characterizing the atmosphere of Earth-sized exoplanets. Attempts to assess LHS 475 b's atmosphere have been made by analyzing ...
