Hubble Space Telescope

Expanded our understanding of the age of the universe, discovered the accelerating expansion of the universe, detailed observations of the planets, and deep field images.

Spitzer Space Telescope

Studied comets and asteroids in the solar system, observed star formation, and made significant discoveries about exoplanets.

WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer)

Mapped the entire sky in infrared, discovered the most luminous galaxy in the universe, and found numerous cool brown dwarfs not far from the Sun.

James Webb Space Telescope

Provided unprecedented detailed observations of the early universe, studied the atmospheres of exoplanets, and offered new insights into star formation.

Chandra X-ray Observatory

Discovered the first light echo from a neutron star, mapped dark matter in galaxy clusters, and studied the environment around black holes.

Compton Gamma Ray Observatory

Observed gamma-ray bursts, studied pulsars and active galactic nuclei, and monitored solar flares.

Kepler Space Telescope

Discovered thousands of exoplanets using the transit method, contributed to the understanding of planetary systems, and investigated star variations.
