#Why space telescope mirror is most complex ever built"You will not be touching anything.##It is clear from the tone of the technician's voice that this is a command, rather than a suggestion,
On tables inside these, sit some of the 18 individual hexagonal mirrors that make up the massive 21ft (6. 5m) diameter primary mirror of this new space telescope."
This puts additional pressure on the teams of scientists and engineers around the world who are working on this international space telescope,
says Matt Mountain, the director of the Space telescope Science Institute at Nasa. Hubble's planned successor, the James webb space telescope (JWST)# set to go into orbit around 2018#is expected to do much more.
called the Advanced Technology Large Aperture Space telescope (ATLAST), a space telescope with a 8-to-16m mirror that would be 2, 000 times more light-sensitive than Hubble.
If all goes according to plan, ATLAST could be launched between 2025 and 2035. The fact that there have been few good candidates for planets that host life found so far should not discourage the searchers The data already collected suggests that there are about 100 billion planetary systems in our galaxy alone,
The launch of NASA s next major space telescope the 6. 5m James webb space telescope (JWST) later this decade should reveal more about such worlds Kreidberg says. ooking forward JWST will be transformativeshe says. he new capabilities
On 21 march, the Planck space telescope team released the highest-precision map yet of the cosmic microwave background (CMB),
#Planck telescope peers into primordial Universe The Planck space telescope has delivered the most detailed picture yet of the cosmic microwave background, the residual glow of the Big bang. Unveiling the results from the##700-million (US$904-million) European space agency (ESA) probe,
the world's first space telescope designed to study the planets from afar. The Spectroscopic Planet Observatory for Recognition of Interaction of Atmosphere or Sprint-A will look at Venus
For infrared space telescopes, picking out distant galaxies is like plucking ripe cherries from a cherry tree.
and Herschel space telescopes to confirm their status as very young objects. his is the first time that such jets have been found coming from brown dwarfs at such an early stage of their formation,
an infrared space telescope launched in 2009. The new study suggests black holes in the Elrigs could have grown so massive
