How Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope connects across Asteria Star — scientific, cultural, and astrological links are kept separate.
An American astronomer and NASA's first chief of astronomy, often called the 'Mother of Hubble' for her role in space-based astronomy.
STScI conducts the science operations of the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes for NASA.
The near-infrared bridges visible and thermal infrared light, key for studying the early universe and exoplanet atmospheres.
Infrared light penetrates dust and reveals cool objects — forming stars, planets, and distant galaxies.
The great observatories of the coming decades — surveying dark energy, imaging habitable worlds, and opening the low-frequency gravitational-wave and X-ray skies.
The statistical machinery that turns a spectrum into numbers: models of an atmosphere are compared against the data, usually with Bayesian inference, to find the mix of gases, temperatures, and clouds that best explains it — along with honest uncertainties. Retrieval is how a wiggly spectrum becomes a measured abundance.
The European Space Agency's Ariel is the first mission dedicated to surveying the atmospheres of a large, diverse sample of known exoplanets — around a thousand — chiefly by transmission and emission spectroscopy at infrared wavelengths. Selected as ESA's fourth medium-class mission and planned for launch in 2029, it aims to link atmospheric composition to how and where planets form.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory is a NASA space telescope launched in 1999 that observes the universe in X-ray wavelengths.
The Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (1991–2000) was one of NASA's Great Observatories, mapping the gamma-ray sky and studying gamma-ray bursts.
Euclid is ESA's mission to map the geometry of the dark universe, surveying billions of galaxies to study dark matter and dark energy.
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope surveys the entire gamma-ray sky every few hours, studying pulsars, blazars, and gamma-ray bursts.
An ESA space observatory charting the positions, distances, and motions of nearly two billion stars in the Milky Way.
