List of directly imaged exoplanets. Motion interpolation of seven images of the HR 8799 system taken from the W. M. Keck Observatory over seven years, featuring four exoplanets. This is a list of extrasolar planets that have been directly observed, sorted by observed separations. This method works best for young planets that emit infrared light ...
An image of Orion's Belt composited from digitized black-and-white photographic plates recorded through red and blue astronomical filters, with a computer synthesized green channel. The plates were taken using the Samuel Oschin Telescope between 1987 and 1991. Astrophotography, also known as astronomical imaging, is the photography or imaging ...
ICON (Explorer 96) →. Wikinews has related news: NASA launches exoplanet-hunting satellite TESS. Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite ( TESS) is a space telescope for NASA 's Explorer program, designed to search for exoplanets using the transit method in an area 400 times larger than that covered by the Kepler mission.

On February 26, 2014, NASA announced the discovery of 715 newly verified exoplanets around 305 stars by the Kepler Space Telescope. The exoplanets were found using a statistical technique called "verification by multiplicity". 95% of the discovered exoplanets were smaller than Neptune and four, including Kepler-296f, were less than 2 1/2 the ...
Pillars of Creation is a photograph taken by the Hubble Space Telescope of elephant trunks of interstellar gas and dust in the Eagle Nebula, in the Serpens constellation, some 6,500–7,000 light-years (2,000–2,100 pc; 61–66 Em) from Earth. [1] These elephant trunks had been discovered by John Charles Duncan in 1920 on a plate made with the ...
Webb's First Deep Field is the first operational image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The deep-field photograph, which covers a tiny area of sky visible from the Southern Hemisphere, is centered on SMACS 0723, a galaxy cluster in the constellation of Volans. Thousands of galaxies are visible in the image, some as old as 13 ...
