This story was provided by Live Science, a sister site of Space.com. Astronomers have discovered over a dozen “dormant” galaxies that paused their star formation within the first billion years after the Big Bang. The discovery, made with data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), illuminates a fascinating phase in the lives of early galaxies and could provide more …

In a major step forward for one of NASA’s most anticipated space observatories, engineers at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, have successfully installed two sunshields on the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. “This shield is like an extremely strong sunblock for Roman’s sensitive instruments, protecting them from heat and light from the sun that would otherwise overwhelm …

There might be a huge planet lurking near one of the closest stars to Earth. NASA‘s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has imaged a possible planet near Alpha Centauri A, a sun-like star that forms part of the triplet Alpha Centauri star group. The mini-cluster is just four light-years from Earth and is a rich ground for astronomers to learn …

NASA has revealed the most detailed images yet taken of comet 3I/ATLAS, the interstellar visitor that is currently barreling its way through our solar system. The images, taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, have enabled astronomers to more accurately estimate the space object’s size — and it looks like it’s smaller than we thought, NASA said in a statement. 3I/ATLAS …

Thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope, we now have the sharpest image yet of the interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS, showing that it is clearly a comet, with a coma filled with dust particles and the first hints of a tail. Of course, 3I/ATLAS is no ordinary comet. Discovered on July 1, 2025 by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), 3I/ATLAS …

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured the best picture yet of a high-speed comet visiting our solar system from another star. NASA and the European Space Agency released the latest photos Thursday. Discovered last month by a telescope in Chile, the comet known as 3I-Atlas is only the third known interstellar object to pass our way and poses no threat …

Facebook Tweet Email Link A new image has revealed the clearest glimpse yet of an interstellar visitor zipping through our solar system. The Hubble Telescope and its Wide Field Camera 3 got an incredible view of the comet named 3I/ATLAS, which came from beyond our solar system, on July 21 when the object was 277 million miles (445 million kilometers) …
