Psyche Approaches Mars

This composite of images taken by NASA’s Psyche mission shows the crescent of Mars grow as the spacecraft approached the planet for a gravity assist from May 2 to May 15, 2026. Because Psyche approached Mars from a high phase angle, the planet appeared as a thin crescent in the days running up to the close approach, lit by sunlight...

I'm not an astronaut, but I went to the International Space Station (sort of)

NEW YORK — I'm the kind of person who, every so often, falls into accidental daydreams about the concept of space. Usually because I'm listening to some sort of sad girl Spotify playlist, I start feeling infuriated that we may never learn the true meaning of the cosmos and become embarrassingly poetic about our isolation on Earth. I tend to...
We talk with astronaut Michael Foale about the 1997 Space Station Mir crisis: 'He took all the blame of the collision on his shoulders'

All systems are go! PBS just launched the second episode of its "Once Upon a Time in Space" miniseries on Tuesday, titled "The Russian Thing," and we’ve got an exclusive clip from the harrowing chapter that focuses on near disasters aboard the Space Station Mir in 1997. In addition to the video, we’re also proud to share an exclusive interview...

An off-the-shelf camera could help us find more black holes smashing together

Fixing a problem inside one of the world's most sophisticated scientific observatories might seem like the kind of challenge that demands a multimillion-dollar upgrade or revolutionary new technology. But for scientists working on the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), which listens for ripples in spacetime generated by cosmic collisions like merging black holes, the solution to a mild but persistent...

Y Como afecta la Contaminación Luminosa

Cúmulo de galaxias MACS J1423 (imagen de NIRCam)

Miles de galaxias brillantes están unidas entre sí por su propia gravedad y forman un cúmulo masivo clasificado formalmente como MACS J1423.
El óvalo blanco brillante más grande es una galaxia elíptica supergigante y el miembro dominante de este cúmulo de galaxias. El cúmulo de galaxias actúa como una lente, magnificando y distorsionando la luz de los objetos que se encuentran detrás de él, un efecto conocido como lente gravitacional que tiene grandes beneficios para la investigación. Los astrónomos pueden estudiar las galaxias con efecto lente en detalle, como la galaxia Firefly Sparkle.
Esta imagen de 2023 es de la NIRCam (cámara de infrarrojo cercano) del telescopio espacial James Webb. investigadores utilizaron Webb para estudiar el mismo campo que el telescopio espacial Hubble fotografió en 2010. Debido a su especialización en imágenes de infrarrojo cercano de alta resolución, Webb pudo mostrar a los investigadores muchas más galaxias con mucho más detalle.
