Exploring the cosmos: from ground-based telescopes to revolutionary space observatories

One of the most celebrated, awe-inspiring images of modern astronomy, revealing colossal spires of interstellar gas and dust called the Pillars of Creation, has been rendered anew with greater depth, clarity and color by the James Webb Space Telescope.

As the telescope continues its mission to uncover more mysteries of the universe, you can check its progress on the go.

The first stunning images from the James Webb Space Telescope were revealed this week, but its journey of cosmic discovery has only just begun.

We might finally know whether earth is the only planet capable of sustaining life.

The successor to the Hubble Space Telescope is reaching some key milestones in its preparation for launch in 2018.
