Researchers detail an analysis method that could improve telescopes at the Simons Observatory by evaluating their performance before installation. This is the first time the optical performance of a telescope has been confirmed prior to its deployment.
A supernova is a stellar explosion, which occurs when the lives of some really massive stars come to an end. In this violent epilogue, the star expels the material from its outer layers by means of a shock wave, allowing us to see the various elements it was composed of.
The James Webb Telescope has been used by a group of Canadian astronomers, including specialists from the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics in the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto, to identify the most distant globular clusters ever found.
Washington [US], October 2 (ANI): Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have identified the most distant globular clusters ever discovered. These dense groups of millions of stars may be relics that contain the first and oldest stars in the universe.
United States President Joe Biden unveiled a stunning image taken by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The powerful telescope has revealed the “deepest and sharpest infrared image of the early universe” ever taken, looking back more than 13 billion years. The image is filled with thousands of galaxies and features the faintest objects ever observed. NASA […]
Scientists believe there may be an “anti-universe” someplace out there that mirrors our own universe and reciprocates nearly everything we do. If this idea of the Anti-Universe is correct, it could explain why dark matter exists. To begin, some background: “Big Bang” refers to a collection of ideas researched by cosmologists. They are scientists who […]
On Monday, the world’s largest and most powerful space telescope, the James Webb space telescope, arrived at its observation station 1 million miles from Earth. It arrived a month after it launched on a mission to see the dawn of the universe. The James Webb Space Telescope launched into orbit around the sun in its […]
Canberra [Australia], January 12 (ANI): Two new recent papers have shed light on how the youngest generation of stars will eventually stop contributing metals back to the universe.
Scania [Sweden], August 27 (ANI): A research team at Lund University in Sweden has succeeded in following the development of a galaxy over a span of 13.8 billion years by using a supercomputer simulation.
