NASA astronomer says people should expect better space object images from James Webb Telescope compared to Hubble and other existing telescopes in outer space.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally discovered a system is called 2M1310–1714 when an astronomer was checking images of a quarter of a million galaxies.
A multibillion-dollar radio telescope is moving into its construction phase while still working to raise funding and deal with satellite megaconstellations.
The member states have finally greenlit the construction of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Observatory, set to be the world's largest radio telescope, starting next month.
Puerto Rico has now devoted $8 million to the reconstruction of the Arecibo telescope.

The Inouye Solar Telescope released the initial images of the Sun it captured. It unveiled the Sun not just in unprecedented detail but also helped scientists look into the mechanics behind the star's unpredictable space weather.
A picture of a cinnamon bun-shaped galaxy snapped by the Hubble telescope was posted by NASA. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured a "tantalizing" thin bright rays and dark shadows beaming from the Northern Hemisphere constellation of Andromeda.
The Arecibo Observatory has made significant contributions to astronomy since the 1960s. Although it has survived several storms and earthquakes, the cause of the recent damages are still being investigated.
Astronomers create the first X-Ray map of the Milky Way with more than one million cosmic objects. The team is already working on future surveys in the next few years.
