Webb Telescope Captures New Image of Nearby Dwarf Galaxy
Read a conversation with Kristen McQuinn of Rutgers University, one of the lead scientists on Webb Early Release Science program 1334, which focused on resolved stellar populations. These are large groups of stars – including stars within the dwarf galaxy Wolf–Lundmark–Melotte – that are close enough for Webb to differentiate between individual stars, but far enough for Webb to capture a large number of stars at once.
Hubble Captures 3 Faces of Evolving Supernova in Early Universe
Three different moments in a far-off supernova explosion were captured in a single snapshot by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope. The star exploded more than 11 billion years ago, when the universe was less than a fifth of its current age of 13.8 billion years.
50 States for Artemis
Every state in America has contributed to the Artemis mission – even on the smallest parts like a bolt or screw. Learn about companies that are helping NASA secure elements of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and the Orion spacecraft.
Cutting-edge Experiments to Ride SpaceX’s 26th CRS Mission to Space Station
