Space missions & discovery
Modern missions capture light from the farthest stars and refine our understanding of the cosmos. These observatories expand the maps that make archival records possible.
Hubble Space Telescope
Hubble reshaped modern astronomy by imaging distant galaxies and detailing star-forming regions.
Gaia mission
Gaia maps stellar positions and motions, refining our understanding of distance and movement in the Milky Way.
James Webb Space Telescope
Webb observes infrared light, revealing young stars, distant galaxies, and the structure of cosmic dust.
ESA & NASA collaborations
Joint missions and shared data have produced the most comprehensive views of the universe to date.
