A UCLA-led team has achieved an unprecedented feat: capturing the sharpest image ever recorded of a distant star’s disk—without using a telescope array. The breakthrough was made possible by a novel ...

Scientists have created the most detailed map yet of dark matter using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in physics. Scientists say it makes up most of ...

The Sun would be a far more powerful telescope than any humanity could create in the near future. But to use it, we need to get to 650 AU.

How did the construction of the Subaru Telescope transform Japanese astronomy? A new study provides a quantitative answer by analyzing scientific publications and their ...

A student at New Mexico State University is showing how you can use pretty much anything to create something. Saul Hernandez made a radio telescope that can detect the ...
