NASA’s Chandra Telescope has been in orbit since 1999 and is still feeding back incredible information about the universe ...

The XRISM (X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission) space telescope, a collaboration between JAXA, NASA, and ESA, has ...

Well, any of us who has ever looked through a telescope could say the same, for the two principal types in use today were developed by giants: the refractor by Galileo and the reflector by Newton.

We learned that the main spectral components seen in observations made with the Chandra and XMM-Newton space telescopes, which cause the changes in X-ray photons, might be linked to varying soft ...

Tuesday, April 30, 2024: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured incredibly sharp images of the Horsehead Nebula, one of the most iconic celestial bodies in the sky over Earth.

The Newtonian reflecting telescope has been in use for centuries since its invention by Issac Newton in 1668. Unlike refracting telescopes (whose lenses are very expensive), the Newtonian ...

Using a phenomenon known as gravitational lensing, it might be possible to use the sun as a gigantic telescope to peer deep into space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A team of researchers from institutions including MIT and Syracuse University used data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, Swift Observatory, and ESA's XMM-Newton to study a supermassive ...

Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, European astronomers have performed X-ray observations of a millisecond pulsar binary known as PSR J1431−4715. Results of the observational campaign ...

Work with satellite-borne Chandra and XMM-Newton telescopes and ground-based radio and optical telescopes reveal signatures of supernova interaction with their surrounding medium, their progenitor ...

When a hapless star wanders too close, the incredibly strong gravitational forces rip it to shreds and throw its guts everywhere, which produces a bright burst of light that telescopes can detect.
