In a season whose carols extol seraphic skies, local astronomers are taking steps to keep the stars shimmering year-round.

When it comes to belonging and identity, tonight’s glittering drag artists are light years from staid science clubs of yore.

The last few public viewings using the high-powered telescope in UPEI's observatory have drawn bigger crowds than usual.

Overall, this telescope is a great choice for beginning your celestial journey. It's affordable, lightweight and easy to navigate — and Celestron goes the extra mile to assist in your ...

Catadioptric telescopes fall into two broad categories: Maksutov-Cassegrain and Schmidt-Cassegrain. Schmidt-Cassegrains traditionally have bigger apertures, while Maksutov-Cassegrains usually have ...

Put simply, Maksutov-Cassegrain telescopes correct problems you might find in a reflector telescope, such as the 'coma' effect, where images appear blurred. They have sealed optics, so you don't ...

Even small asteroids can do a lot of damage—and new research shows the James Webb Space Telescope is adept at spotting the tiniest of space rocks. A time-lapse of images from NASA’s James Webb ...

In this paper, we presented a novel technique for mapping and calibrating the primary beam response of VLITE, a commensal telescope situated near the prime focus of an offset Cassegrain optical path.

After the Hubble Space Telescope studied the oldest-known exoplanet in the galaxy, scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to learn how planets were able to form in the early universe.

The image, using data taken by several space telescopes, shows a star cluster called NGC 602, located in a nearby satellite galaxy of the Milky Way called the Small Magellanic Cloud. The image ...

In the years since, researchers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed that the current expansion rate, called the Hubble constant, is faster than what standard cosmology models estimate ...

The availability of the James Webb Space Telescope is finally giving astronomers the tools they need to measure this aspect of space more accurately. A new study led by Nobel laureate Adam Reiss ...
