Success! The James Webb Space Telescope Has Launched
The world's most powerful space telescope on Saturday blasted off into orbit, headed to an outpost 1.5 million kilometres (930,000 miles) from Earth, after several delays caused by technical hitches.

📞 Hello Webb? It's us, Earth!
Our team just deployed the gimbaled antenna assembly, which includes Webb’s high-data-rate dish antenna. This antenna will be used to send at least 28.6 Gbytes of data down from the observatory, twice a day: https://go.nasa.gov/3qnXZQt

Alien Life Could Theoretically Survive Within Venus's Clouds, Scientists Say
With an atmosphere acidic enough to strip the skin from your bones, Venus is far from what we might imagine as hospitable. But a new study backs up the idea that cocoons of life could potentially exist in the planet's corrosive clouds.

James Webb Space Telescope separation recap
This real-time video shows the
separation of the James Webb Space Telescope from the Ariane 5 launch vehicle and the subsequent solar array deployment without transmission artefacts.
Thanks to Ariane 5’s highly precise launch trajectory Webb’s solar array was able to deploy soon after separation from the Ariane 5, capturing sunlight to power the observatory.
This video shows the view from Ariane 5’s upper stage, taken by a camera manufactured by Irish company Réaltra Space Systems Engineering.
