The findings challenge existing models and suggest that we don’t yet understand much of the complicated plasma physics at play in these extreme galaxies. The MeerKAT telescope is located in the ...

A good example of this is the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This infrared light space-based telescope is the most powerful and largest ever created. The telescope takes its name from James E.

The F-22 will receive an embedded set of TacIRST sensors as part of the Infrared Defensive System to enhance aircraft survivability and lethality. Lockheed Martin announced on Jan. 22, 2025 ...

With these improvements, researchers can steer optical and infrared telescopes to the same spot in the sky. They can then figure out whether these bursts come from star clusters or distinct structures ...

However, before long, astronomers will get even better looks at Andromeda. If all goes well, NASA will launch the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope in the near future. It's an infrared telescope with ...

Whenever news of a rare celestial event makes the headlines - be it a passing comet, meteor shower or a parade of planets - it makes one wish for two things: a telescope and a pitch-black garden ...

Hot stuff The first plasma at the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak. (Courtesy: University of Seville) A novel fusion device based at the University of Seville in Spain has achieved its first plasma. The ...

There is even a growing interest among game hunters (and those searching Loch Ness). While an infrared camera can see at night, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re allowed to fly in the dark – please ...

Using data from NASA's Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) and the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), scientists were able to peer through obscuring material to identify hundreds ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is much larger than the Hubble and instead of orbiting the Earth, operates from a stationary position in space about 1.5 million kilometres from Earth. Webb is also ...
