Some telescopes can detect light with a longer wavelength, such as infrared light, or light with a shorter wavelength, such as ultraviolet light. Others can detect X-rays or radio waves.

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected an enormous X-ray jet from quasar J1610+1811, observed at a distance of about 11.6 billion light-years (roughly 3 billion years after the Big Bang). The ...

Data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed dozens of small galaxies that played a starring role in a cosmic makeover that transformed the early universe into the one we know today.

Two novel viologen-functionalized Zn(II) complexes {[Zn(cbbpy)(PTA)0.5Cl]·2H2O}n (1) and [Zn3(cbbpy)2(PTA)2(H2O)6]·(PTA)·4H2O}n (2) with a one-dimensional chain of quadrilateral rings and three-fold ...

Combined optical/UV and X-ray measurements are needed to constrain the total bolometric luminosity. More specifically, there is an unexplained dichotomy between TDE flares discovered in the X-ray band ...
