Primary documents and established newsrooms, organized into one clear feed.
astronomy / hubble / nebula / science / star-formation / webb
NASA's Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes have captured detailed views of the Cat’s Head Nebula, a star-forming region located 7,500 light-years from Earth. The combined data from both observatories is providing crucial insights into the complex and chaotic process of stellar formation.
astronomy / dark-matter / gravitational-lensing / hubble-space-telescope / nasa / roman-space-telescope / science
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured a series of gravitational lensing images, including one released Oct. 22, 2026, to prepare for future observations with the new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. Astronomers will analyze the lensing distortions to study dark matter in foreground galaxies and establish a foundation for Roman's upcoming science.
geology / mars / meteorites / nasa / planetary-science / science
A rose-colored meteorite discovered in the Sahara Desert in 2022 has been identified as an 800-gram fragment of Martian crust that formed more than 4.1 billion years ago, making it one of the oldest Martian meteorites ever found. NASA-funded researchers describe Teghaza 001 in a new Science paper as a rare record of how water and rock interacted on the early Red Planet.
