NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (right) will pick up where the Hubble (left) will soon leave off, observing the universe in infrared & looking further back in time than Hubble ever could. Photos: NASA April 24 marked the 30th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), which has given humanity some of the most […]

Artist’s concept of the ARIEL spacecraft on its way to Lagrange Point 2 (L2). Image Credit: ESA/STFC RAL Space/UCL/Europlanet-Science Office Thousands of exoplanets have been discovered so far – just over 4,000 now actually – with thousands more expected to be found in the near future. But these worlds are very far away, so […]

NASA’s Curiosity rover has detected a new burst of the gas, it was reported today in the New York Times. The new detection of the gas – which can come from either biology […] 
Artist’s conception of the James Webb Space Telescope in space. Image Credit: Northrop Grumman The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may not be launching until 2019, but the first targets for the powerful new observatory have already been chosen, including Jupiter, organic molecules in star-forming clouds and baby galaxies in the distant Universe.
