Explained: How the Hubble Space Telescope, famous for its stunning images, is under threat
Private companies are launching thousands of satellites that are photobombing the iconic telescope — producing long bright streaks and curves of light that can be impossible to remove. And the problem is only getting worse

What are the enormous 'universe breaker' galaxies discovered by NASA's James Webb telescope?
Astronomers discovered six massive galaxies that existed between 500 million and 700 million years after the big bang that formed the universe. The revelation is fundamentally upending accepted views regarding the creation of galaxies

NASA is planning to partner with SpaceX to reboost the Hubble Telescope and extend its life
NASA is planning to team up with Elon Musk's SpaceX and use their Dragon spacecraft in order to boost the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Telescope has been in service for over 30 years, but has dropped about 30 kilometres since 2009.

Astronomers spot ‘invisible’ black hole for the first time using Hubble Space Telescope
While it may seem that black holes are by definition invisible, they can still be detected through the way they interact with other objects owing to their strong gravity

James Webb Space Telescope: Why the world’s astronomers are very, very anxious right now
After $10 billion and years of delays, the telescope is finally scheduled to lift off from a European launch site in French Guiana on its way to a point 1 million miles on the other side of the moon

Hubble telescope faces technical issues for a week, NASA insists it's in good health
NASA said the payload computer stopped working last Sunday and attempts to restart it have failed.

Stunning 'eye of the serpent' spotted by Hubble in spiral arms of a galaxy in the Hydra constellation
Only half of all the known spiral galaxies have a central bar-like structure, including NGC 2835 and our Milky Way galaxy.

New findings in dark matter physics could prompt brand-new model of the 'real' universe
The discovery, some experts think, might 'signal a gap' in the current understanding of dark matter and its properties.

NASA's Hubble telescope captures dreamy 'veil-like' edge of Cygnus supernova blast wave
The star, 20 times larger than our Sun, went supernova between 10,000 and 20,000 years ago, and its shockwave is still expanding at a rate of around 350 kilometers per second, the space agency said

Puzzling dimming of Betelgeuse's brightness could be due to supernova, study suggests
The mystery has enthralled skywatchers since the star began to lose brightness, and fast, in October 2019.

Space 'fireworks' highlight the violent birth of a star cluster in ALMA, Hubble image
The cluster of stars itself is located in the Carina region of our galaxy, about 8000 light-years away.

Hubble telescope finds crucial clues about planet formation by studying star cluster Westerlund 2
Stars that reside in the centre of a cluster would have lesser chances of forming planets while the chances of planet formation are higher in the outer layers.

NASA allows you see what the Hubble Telescope might've seen in the universe on your birth date
People will be able to see inner regions of faraway galaxies, close ups of planets, nebulas, the nuclei of comets and more with this feature.

NASA renames its next-generation space telescope — WFIRST — after ‘Mother of Hubble’ Nancy Grace Roman
She is credited for the Hubble Space Telescope and convinced NASA and the US Congress launching the world's most powerful space telescope was a priority
