NASA robot rescue mission sets sights on a space telescope plummeting to Earth
US space agency NASA is preparing to launch a robotic rescue mission to haul an ageing telescope into a higher orbit to save it from burning up as it falls back down to Earth. The next launch attempt is set for Wednesday after a previous liftoff was pushed back due to the weather
NASA’s Webb Discovers Hidden Planet in Famous Star System
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a giant planet outside our solar system, called an exoplanet, hiding within one of the most intensely studied planetary systems in our Milky Way galaxy. The young, nearby star Beta Pictoris was already known to h
Swift Boost Mission: An opportunity for science and defense
Instead of letting a 22-year-old space telescope fall to Earth, NASA wants to rescue the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory with a robotic spacecraft designed to boost the telescope back into higher orbit.
