Illustration depicting the flow of the solar wind from the Sun. Both GLIDE and Solar Cruiser will help scientists study the solar wind and its effects on communications is space and on Earth. Image Credit: NASA NASA has announced the selection of two new SmallSat missions – the Global Lyman-alpha Imagers of the Dynamic […] 
Artist’s conception of the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (WFIRST). Image Credit: NASA NASA’s upcoming next-generation space telescope, the Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST), now has a brand new name: the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (or just the Roman Space Telescope for short). It is named in honor of Nancy Grace Roman, […] 
Artist’s conception of the Spitzer Space Telescope. Image Credit: NASA/JPL In just a few days from now, one of NASA’s greatest space telescope missions will come to an end. The Spitzer Space Telescope will cease operations on Jan. 30, 2020, after 16 years in service. The news was announced during a special live program […] 
The CHIME radio telescope in south-western British Columbia, Canada. CHIME has detected eight new repeating Fast Radio Bursts. Photo Credit: CHIME Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are one of the most mysterious phenomena in astronomy. They are extremely brief radio signals coming from deep space, beyond our galaxy, and so far, scientists still don’t know […] 
This is it! The first-ever image taken of a black hole shows light being around the black hole itself by its intense gravity. Photo Credit: Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration Today was a historic day in astronomy, as scientists unveiled the first-ever images of a black hole. Such an achievement has been dreamt of for […]

Artist’s conception of the two supermassive black holes in orbit around each other. Image Credit: Joshua Valenzuela/UNM Black holes are some of the most bizarre and mysterious phenomena in the Universe – they have captivated the imaginations of scientists and the public alike, and have been featured in many science fiction movies and […] 
A simulation showing the turbulent atmosphere of exoplanet HD 80606b, based on data gathered with the Spitzer space telescope. This hot Jupiter-type world has one of the most elongated orbits known for an exoplanet, one that resembles the orbits of comets in our Solar System. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MIT/Principia College Seen from the perspective […] 
An artist’s impression of a supernova explosion. With the help of NASA’s Kepler space telescope, astronomers were able to observe for the first time the exact moment when the shockwave from a supernova reaches the surface of the progenitor star just before the latter explodes. Image Credit: ESO/M. Kornmesser One of the most […] 
A team of astronomers has recently discovered a total of 53 ‘super spiral’ galaxies which are enormous in size, three of which are shown in the image above. The galaxies shown at the left and center images also exhibit a double nucleus, which could be the result of a past galactic merger. Image […] |
