Despite space observatories such as theHubble Space Telescope(HST) andJames Webb Space Telescope(JWST) being closer to the action, ground-based telescopes can achieve greater dimensions and are far less restricted by weight. When telescopes onEarthare built in a good location, with wide sky views...
The 500-metre-wide radio telescope in rural China will let us study galaxies, pulsars and potential alien signals that would be too faint for any other scope
Astronomers harness the galaxy's biggest telescope to make most precise measurement of spinning star by International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research The densely packed matter of a pulsar spins at incredible speeds, and emits radio waves that can be observed from Earth, but how neutron stars em...

A prototype part of the software system to manage data from the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope has run on the world's second fastest supercomputer in China. The complete system, currently being designed by an international consortium, will process raw observations of distant stars and gala...

The 'China Sky Eye,' also known as the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST), is the world's largest radio telescope, located in a natural basin in Guizhou in southwest China. Its great strength is its sensitivity to certain electromagnetic frequ...
Situated atop Arizona's Mount Graham, the Large Binocular Telescope is expected to have a resolution unmatched by any other optical telescope on Earth or in the heavens, including the Hubble Space Telescope.Stone, AlexDiscover
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the world's biggest, most complex and most powerful space telescope ever built, was launched on Saturday. The telescope was sent into space by an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, after several...
Astronomers found the ring in February,but they did not find it using telescopes here on Earth.Instead,they used NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope,a spacecraft that trails Earth in an orbit about the sun and takes pictures of deep space.The Spitzer telescope does not take pic...
