Spitzer Space Telescope

The centre of our galaxy can be seen in the image on the middle-bottom right. With the darkness of space as its backdrop, interstellar dust and radiation come together to form a magnificent tapestry.

Hubble and Spitzer Space Telescope data on a pair of exoplanets, Kepler-138 c and Kepler-138 d suggests that they may be water worlds.

NASA's James Webb space telescope has delivered an image of a portion of the sky that was previously captured by the now retired Spitzer space telescope. The latest image is a lot sharper than the archival shot.

NASA has shared an image of a cluster of baby stars, captured by its Spitzer Space Telescope. Calling the red clouds of gas a beautiful space butterfly, NASA says the image explains how stars are formed in space.

Most rocky planets and satellites, including our Earth and the Moon, are formed or shaped by massive collisions among celestial bodies early in the solar system. When these objects smash together, they could either accumulate more material and increase their size or they can break apart into multiple smaller bodies.

American space agency NASA has shared an image of Cat’s Paw Nebula, which is named so for the "large, round features that resemble a feline footprint".

NASA has shared a stunning image of a giant eye-shaped nebula that is among the brightest and closest to Earth. The image, captured by the agency's Spitzer Space Telescope, showed a deep vacuum surrounded by a sparkling cloud of dust and gas.

NASA often shares images of the Earth and space that leaves social media users in awe. This time around, the space agency shared not one but four images of nebulae — star-forming gaseous clouds — on its official Instagram page.

NASA has shared a beautiful image of Cas A, the remnant of a massive star that exploded about 300 years ago, on its Instagram. The picture justifies the title picked by the space agency, which called it 'A Kaleidoscope of Colour'.

NASA has said goodbye to the Spitzer space telescope after 16 years of service using infrared light to unveil otherwise invisible features of the universe, including seven planets the size of Earth around the star Trappist-1.

Direct observations from a NASA space telescope have for the first time revealed the atmospheric void of a rocky, Earth-sized world beyond our own solar system orbiting the most common type of star in the galaxy, according to a study released on Monday.

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be switched off permanently on January 30, 2020, after nearly 16 years of exploring the cosmos in infrared light.

America's Great Observatories - the Hubble, Chandra, Compton and Spitzer space telescopes - have peered into the unknown and made breakthrough discoveries about newborn stars, dark matter and the age of the universe itself.

Launched into solar orbit on August 25, 2003, Spitzer was initially scheduled for a minimum 2.5-year primary mission but has lasted far beyond its expected lifetime.

The study, combining observations from NASA's Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes, shows that the distant planet HAT-P-26b has a primitive atmosphere composed almost entirely of hydrogen and helium.
