South Africa has unveiled a new super radio telescope that will study galaxy formation, a first phase of what will be the world's largest telescope in a project to try to unravel the secrets of the universe.
China is working to set up the world's highest altitude gravitational wave telescopes in Tibet Autonomous Region to detect the faintest echoes resonating from the universe, which may reveal more about the Big Bang.
Dozens of space scientists are desperately scouring the skies after losing track of a quarter-of-a-billion-dollar Japanese satellite that was sent to study black holes.
An H-2A rocket carrying an X-ray astronomy satellite was successfully launched from the Tanegashima Space Center in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan on Wednesday.
Hubble Space telescope is celebrating its 25th birthday, marking a milestone in the history of a telescope that defied its early critics to become a crucial tool in space exploration.

Human beings have always obsessed over whether they are alone in the
universe. Now scientists say they’ve proved that at least some of the
water on Earth has to have originated from outside the solar system (and
they add that it’s older than the sun).
The
news has set the flying-saucer-sphere abuzz with the thought that other
planets in the universe are therefore more likely to have had water, at
some stage at least, and to therefore have developed life.
Μοιάζει σαν να βγήκε από μια ταινία επιστημονικής φαντασίας αλλά αυτό
εδώ το μηχάνημα είναι σχεδόν σαν μια μηχανή χρόνου. Το Atacama Large
Millimeter Array, ή αλλιώς ALMA είναι το μεγαλύτερο τηλεσκόπιου του
κόσμου αλλά και το πιο ψηλό, καθώς και το πιο ακριβό με κόστος σχεδόν 1
δισ. δολάρια.
