In a combined image from the two space telescopes, two star clusters shine in the darkness of space. A new 527-megapixel image captures two open star clusters, NGC 456 and NGC 460, orbiting our Milky ...

Since its launch in 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope has been at the forefront of astronomical observation, and with the ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) joined forces to capture a striking new view of two open star clusters within the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf satellite galaxy ...

A vibrant and shimmering new image of a massive galaxy cluster is dazzling astronomers. By combining the James Webb Telescope’s (JWST) infrared sight with the Hubble Space Telescope’s (HST) optical ...

NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes face operational cuts due to budget constraints. Reduced funding will likely decrease the number of science operations for both telescopes. Hubble may lose some ...

James Webb and Hubble telescopes join forces to explore a cosmic nursery: Space photo of the week James Webb telescope finds a warped 'Butterfly Star' shedding its chrysalis — Space photo of the week ...

Just about everyone has heard of NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope — not too surprising considering that it has been with us for the past 35 years. For the majority of people alive today, the HST has been ...

Even with the faulty optics, Hubble was still superior to many ground-based telescopes at the time, and was still capable of quite a lot of science that is inaccessible from the surface of the Earth.

SANTA CRUZ, CA–Adaptive optics technology can remove the blurring effect of the Earth’s atmosphere that has long plagued astronomers, allowing ground-based telescopes to achieve a clarity of vision ...

Berkeley — A two-hour observation of Jupiter using an improved technique to remove atmospheric blur has produced the sharpest whole-planet picture ever taken from the ground, according to astronomers ...

Note to reporters: Andrea Ghez will give a presentation on adaptive optics applications in astronomy at the dedication of the Center for Adaptive Optics on June 21 at UC Santa Cruz. The following is ...
