The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) ultraviolet space telescope was launched in 2003 to investigate how galaxies evolve. The ultraviolet (UV) waveband was thought to be a rather subdued region ...

But, this telescope is in space, so the atmosphere doesn’t blur out the images. More importantly, the air above our heads absorbs ultraviolet light, preventing ground-based telescopes from even ...

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most violent explosions in the universe. Their prompt radiation is mainly in the soft gamma-ray band and last briefly (i.e., from milliseconds to at most hours).

My group — which consists mainly of me — has been involved in a variety of mostly observational projects over the past five years, utilizing primarily Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray ...

And now, NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, also known as NuSTAR, has compiled a colorful new view of the sun using X-ray telescopes and observations of UV light.

It shows data obtained by Swift’s Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (blue and green) and X-Ray Telescope (red). The image of the star field (white) was acquired by the Digital Sky Survey.

It will be on board in 2012, when a Soyus-2 rocket carries an X-ray telescope into space to decode the nature of the universe's dark energy: an X-ray detector developed by the Max Planck Institute ...

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have spotted rare hot Ultraviolet (UV)-bright stars in Milky Way’s massive intriguing globular cluster called NGC 2808 that is said to ...
