English: What looks much like craggy mountains on a moonlit evening is actually the edge of a nearby, young, star-forming region NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula. Captured in infrared light by the Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, this image reveals previously obscured areas of star birth.
Hubble Space Telescope image of the nebula M1-67 and WR 124 at its center. WR 124 is surrounded by an intensely hot nebula formed from the star's extreme stellar wind. [ 9 ] The nebula M1-67 is expanding at a rate of over 150,000 km/h (93,000 mph) and is nearly 6 light-years across, leading to the dynamical age of 20,000 years.
That could improve humanity's understanding of early star life and, in turn, the universe at large. Hubble Space Telescope images of the Pillars of Creation from 1995 (left) and 2014 (right).
The James Webb Space Telescope has enabled astronomers to see things they can't explain. At least, not yet.In new research from Webb — the most powerful space observatory ever built ...
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 hits just keep coming from the James Webb Space Telescope as NASA released a spectacular new image to mark the one-year anniversary of the start of its science mission. The shot is of the Rho ...
SDSS uses a dedicated 2.5 m wide-angle optical telescope; from 1998 to 2009 it observed in both imaging and spectroscopic modes. The imaging camera was retired in late 2009, since then the telescope has observed entirely in spectroscopic mode. Images were taken using a photometric system of five filters (named u, g, r, i and z).
The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy.
