The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the most distant active supermassive black hole ever observed. The Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey combined highly detailed images and data from Webb to unveil fascinating celestial phenomena.
The CEERS Survey panorama offers a mesmerizing view of the cosmos, stitched together from multiple images captured by the telescope. The image showcases a variety of galaxies, each exhibiting its unique characteristics.
Insta360 might have just released the new Insta360 GO 3 (buy here), but that’s not the only camera making a big appearance this week. Students at the Karman Space Programme (KSP) have sent an Insta360 X3 (buy here) up unto the stratosphere 20 miles above the planet’s surface.
The Karman Space Programme is a student-led team with the goal of becoming the first such team to reach space using a reusable rocket. It’s a very lofty goal and one that’s going to take a lot of work. And in their recent high-altitude balloon test, titled Project Eclipse, they attached the Insta360 X3 to their payload and it captured some incredible views.
NASA has released newly captured and edited images from its Juno mission. The images show a beautiful swirling mass of clouds over the gas giant Jupiter.
The mission completed its 49th close flyby of Jupiter on March 1, 2023. “As the spacecraft flew low over the giant planet’s cloud tops,” NASA says, “its JunoCam instrument captured this look at bands of high-altitude haze forming above cyclones in an area known as Jet N7.”
Hubble Space Telescope was sent into orbit around Earth on April 25, 1990. Even though it got a younger and more powerful brother, James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble’ still going strong and taking magnificent photos.
To celebrate Hubble’s 33rd anniversary, NASA and ESA have released a stunning photo of a star-forming region called NGC 1333. It’s one of those photos that, the more you look, the more details you spot and enjoy.
On December 24, 1968, three Apollo 8 astronauts became the first humans to orbit the Moon. Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders were onboard the spacecraft when Anders took the iconic Earthrise photo.
In a recent interview with NASA’s Chief Scientist and Senior Climate Advisor Dr. Katherine Calvin, Anders looks back on the historic event. He talks about how he took the legendary image 55 years ago, sharing some fun but also tense moments that happened behind the scenes.
In 2019, National Science Foundation and Event Horizon Telescope captured the first-ever photo of a supermassive black hole. And now, the blurry blob that excited us so much back then has got its fancy, sharp, more detailed version.
A team of researchers has developed a new AI model and used it to give the iconic photo a makeover. This gives us a totally new look at the black hole and gives scientists more information about it.
We’ve seen photos of the Earth from space many, many times. We’re used to seeing it as the “blue marble,” just as it was named in the iconic Apollo 17 image. But the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has released photos of our planet as we’ve never seen before.
They show the Earth’s land in warm tones of red, yellow, and brown, giving us a whole new impression of the planet we call home.
For the last couple of weeks, we were lucky to see a relatively rare phenomenon in the night sky. Venus and Jupiter were dancing in the sky, getting closer and closer as if they were flirting. Their “kiss,” or the conjunction, took place on March 2 and it was a real treat for astrophotographers and stargazers.
Indian photographer Soumyadeep Mukherjee captured the whole process in a marvelous set of photos. He turned it into a collage that shows us the dance of Venus and Jupiter, one step at a time.
A few days ago, NASA’s Orion spacecraft successfully splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. This means that, after 25 days, the first mission of the Artemis I program came to an end.
Over the course of nearly a month, Orion treated us with some spectacular and detailed shots of the Moon’s surface. And in a recent video shared by ESA (European Space Agency), you can see the recap of the 25-day trip in only 60 seconds.
NASA’s Orion spacecraft showed us some awe-inspiring photos during its trip to the moon. And now, it’s on its way back to Earth with NASA teams preparing for splashdown. Of course, it’s not coming back without stunning photos of the moon. Right before heading back, Orion snapped some photos of its final lunar flyby – and I’m sure they’ll make you excited about the lunar missions yet to come.
