PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) is a space telescope under development by the European Space Agency for launch in 2026. [4] The mission goals are to search for planetary transits across up to one million stars, and to discover and characterize rocky extrasolar planets around yellow dwarf stars (like the Sun), subgiant stars, and red dwarf stars.

This article documents expected notable spaceflight events during the year 2026. NASA plans to launch the Artemis 2 mission on the Space Launch System , sending astronauts around the Moon on a ten-day lunar flyby.
The project is now in its fourth phase. The first phase, OGLE-I (1992–1995), used the 1.0-metre (3 ft 3 in) Swope telescope and a single-chip CCD sensor. For OGLE-II (1996–2000), a 1.3-metre (4 ft 3 in) telescope dedicated to the project (the Warsaw telescope) was constructed at Las Campanas Observatory. It was equipped with a single 2048× ...
A diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum with the Earth's atmospheric transmittance (or opacity) and the types of telescopes used to image parts of the spectrum.. Visible-light astronomy encompasses a wide variety of astronomical observation via telescopes that are sensitive in the range of visible light (optical telescopes).

Diagram highlighting ISIM. Integrated Science Instrument Module (ISIM) is a component of the James Webb Space Telescope, a large international infrared space telescope launched on 25 December 2021. [1] ISIM is the heart of the JWST, and holds the main science payload which includes four science instruments and the fine guidance sensor. [1]
Telecompressor or focal reducer: Optical element to decrease the telescope's focal length and magnification (usually by a fixed percentage) and widen the field of view, providing opposite effects of a Barlow lens. Star Diagonal: Used to change the angle of the light coming out of a telescope, for easier viewing.
