The James Webb Telescope is readying for a universal chemistry experiment. Once operational, Webb will split the light from targets that it observes into spectra, which measures the amount of light within specific electromagnetic wavelengths. This information will shed light on mass, temperature and chemical compositions of galaxies and exoplanets. The James Webb Space Telescope is designed … Continue reading James Webb Telescope Ready To Examine The Chemistry Of The Universe

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has reached its final orbital destination. It is an orbital place in space referred to as "L2," or the "Second Lagrange Point." If all goes well the most sophisticated space observatory ever built will spend 20 years or more peering into deep space, providing us with an unprecedented look into … Continue reading James Web Space Telescope Arrives at Final Orbital Destination

The new system will improve the capabilities of NASAs JPL’s Center to monitor asteroids and their impact risks as they approach earth. Astronomers have discovered close to 30,000 near-earth asteroids to date and continue to discover more at a rate of roughly 3,000 new objects each year. As technology advances so does our instrumentation and … Continue reading SENTRY II, NASA’s New Asteroid Monitoring System Is Now Online

The James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's premier observatory, is scheduled for launch December 18 from French Guiana.  The worlds most powerful space observatory will take a unique look into our solar system, discover and observe new exoplanets, and look deeper into our known universe than ever before. The telescope is equipped with a mirror that … Continue reading The James Webb Space Telescope to Launch Soon!
