NASA Reveals What the First Pictures From Webb Will Be
The James Webb Space Telescope will provide unprecedented views and science about our Universe, and the first full-color images and first spectra from the new telescope will be revealed on July 12. But now NASA has done something a little unprecedented, too: they’ve given all of us who are anticipating these images a list of the cosmic targets we’ll be seeing next week.
How the James Webb Space Telescope works in pictures
The James Webb Space Telescope, also known as Webb or JWST, is a high-capability space observatory designed to revolutionize astronomy.
Many Astronauts Never Recover all of their Bone Density after Returning to Earth
In his book, Endurance, astronaut Scott Kelly described the arduous task of readjusting to life on Earth after spending a year in space. As part of NASA’s Twins Study, Kelly lived and worked aboard the International Space Station (ISS) while his identical twin (astronaut Mark Kelly) remained on Earth. While the results of this study revealed how prolonged exposure to microgravity could lead to all manner of physiological changes, the long and painful recovery Kelly described in his book painted a much more personal and candid picture.
Asteroid Bennu nearly ate NASA's sampling spacecraft
NASA's asteroid-sampling spacecraft OSIRIS-REx had a near-death experience at Bennu, according to the mission team.
NASA unveils list of 1st targets for James Webb Space Telescope
NASA has released which celestial objects the first science images from the James Webb Space Telescope will show.
NASA condemns Russia's use of space station for propaganda
NASA issued a statement formally condemning Russia's blatant misuse of the International Space Station for propaganda purposes.
See the 'Wonderful Star' Mira at its peak brightness this week
Mira, the 'Wonderful Star,' will be at its peak brightness around July 13. See how to find Mira and learn more about this variable star's odd behavior.
Supermassive Black Holes Formed Directly out of Enormous Streams of Cold gas
At the edge of known space are quasars. They are powerful cosmic engines capable of creating intense beams of light across billions of light years. And they are powered by supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Most galaxies have a SMBH, including our own galaxy, but for quasars to be so powerful their SMBHs must have become very large very quickly. We’re still learning just how they formed. We’ve long thought their formation involved a special set of circumstances, but a new study shows that early quasars could have formed purely from cold dark gas.
A Test Image From Webb Just Happens to be the Deepest Image Ever Taken of the Universe
A ‘throwaway’ engineering image from the James Webb Space Telescope’s commissioning phase has turned out to be a stunningly deep view of the cosmos. It rivals the deepest of Hubble Deep Field images in revealing previously unseen distant galaxies.
NASA's Saturn V moon rocket to launch onto 2024 US dollar coin
The rocket that launched the first astronauts to the moon will blast off from the back of a new dollar coin in 2024. NASA's Saturn V will be featured on Alabama's American Innovation $1 Coin.
Dramatic sampling shows asteroid Bennu is nothing like scientists expected
Asteroid Bennu nearly swallowed the OSIRIS-REx probe when it touched down on the rock to collect a sample, revealing that the space rock's nature was much different than scientists had thought.
What was the space race? Origins, events and timeline
The Space Race was a bitter competition that took place in the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, between the USA and the Soviet Union.
Cosmic targets for Webb Telescope’s first images announced
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope will soon reveal unprecedented and detailed views of the Universe, with the upcoming release of its first full-colour images and spectroscopic data.
