The first images from the James Webb Space Telescope are just a preview of the impressive capabilities of NASA’s $10-billion, next-generation observatory. Billed as the successor to the iconic Hubble Space Telescope, which launched into orbit in 1990, Webb was designed to peer deeper into space than ever before, with […]
For the past thirty years, astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to study the edges of the universe. Now, as the scientists analysed the data collected by the telescope, they come to the startling conclusion that “something weird” is going on with the universe. The Telescope, which was launched […]
NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured many stunning images over its lifetime – here are five of the most mind-blowing. First conceived in the 1940s, the Hubble Space Telescope (or just Hubble for short) was launched by the US space agency on April 24, 1990. Named after astronomer Edwin Powell […]

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a ‘space triangle’ where two galaxies are colliding, leading to a tsunami of star birth. The duo are collectively known as Arp 143, made up of the glittery, distorted star-forming galaxy NGC 2445, and the less flashy NGC 24444. NGC […]
