This image shows the Large Aperture Telescope’s colossal, 6-meter primary and secondary mirrors at the Simons Observatory in February of 2025. The telescope has already seen first light, and will soon begin delivering new CMB science as never before. (Credit:...

This selection of 55 galaxies from the JWST’s GLASS Early Release Science program spans a variety of ranges in redshift and mass. This helps teach us what shapes galaxies take on over a range of masses and stages in cosmic...

In comparing JWST images of Uranus (left) and Neptune (right), features such as rings, moons, and cloudy “bright spots” on the planets are clearly visible. Although Neptune appears much smaller than Uranus, that’s because it’s an extra ~50% farther away...

This “fleet chart” catalogues every NASA science mission across the four main subdivisions — Earth science, heliophysics, planetary science, and astrophysics — that is active as of July 2024. Many more planned, future missions are in various stages of development....

This deep-field view of the Universe showcases a portion of the COSMOS-Web field acquired with JWST. In this field are a wide variety of galaxies, where the reddest, most dot-like galaxies represent some of the most distant, earliest galaxies ever...

Under ideal dark sky conditions, the unaided human eye can see up to 6000 stars at once, and up to 9000 stars total if they could see the full sky at once, unblocked by the Earth itself. But what we...

In just its first 10 hours of observations, the Vera Rubin observatory discovered more than 2000 new asteroids. What else will it teach us?Continue reading on Starts With A Bang! » Source link...

For over 50 years, it’s been the scientifically accepted theory describing the origin of the Universe. It’s time we all learned its truths.Continue reading on Starts With A Bang! » Source link...

For hundreds of millions of years, a cosmic fog blocked all signs of starlight. At last, JWST found the galaxies that cleared that fog…Continue reading on Starts With A Bang! » Source link...
