Amazing full resolution image of spiral galaxy NGC 5134

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken an extraordinarily detailed image of a spiral galaxy about 65 million light-years away in the constellation Virgo. It reveals a wealth of detail that has never been captured before. It allows us to observe the dynamic environment; the birth, life and death of its stars.

Astronomers find a 'shortcut' to detect hidden exoplanets

Previous exoplanet discoveries have focused mainly on Sun-like stars and red dwarf systems. They have been quite effective, but also selective. The new study comes up with a procedure that can speed up and refine the search by up to 40%. And discover previously "invisible" planets.

Amazing image of the Milky Way in the most detailed observation yet

An international team of astronomers has released the largest image yet of the central region of the Milky Way taken by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). It is a highly detailed mosaic of thousands of individual observations. It captures the dynamically and chemically extremely complex environment at the very core of the galaxy.

Hubble captures an "invisible" galaxy, 99% of it is dark matter

Astronomers have identified an object that exhibits a strong gravitational pull but emits almost no light. Experts say it is a galaxy composed almost entirely of dark matter.

Inside the ZWO headquarters in Suzhou, China

ZWO already has a large group of fans around the world, so the opportunity to take a look inside the production is definitely worth it, as well as listening to an interview with the company's founder and astrophotographer Sam Wen. It's inspiring to hear a guy who built a company from scratch and wanted to do his own hobby as best as possible talk about something.

Discovery of massive dusty galaxies changes the way the Universe evolves

Astronomers have discovered a large cluster of very massive galaxies formed about 1 billion years after the Big Bang. These galaxies are characterised by extremely high star formation, but they are also very dusty and therefore almost invisible until now. The discovery could fundamentally affect current ideas about star formation.

New Dwarf mini smart telescope

On Friday we received the new Dwarf Lab Mini smart telescope, which will go on sale in February, but you can pre-order it today.

Yesterday evening with Dwarf 3 and Aurora borealis over Prague

I spent last night playing with the new Dwarf 3. Testing filters, etc. You can see the result in the article.

Dwarf 3 - a completely unique smart telescope

As many of you have noticed, the new Dwarf III smart telescope has been on sale on LP for a few days now. Gradually we will start adding our own photos, but as the weather has not been too kind so far. (we only have the first few photos from one somewhat nice night - yesterday) we would like to draw your attention to a video by Trevor Jones, the man behind the AstroBackyard astrophotography project...

The history of astronomy and interesting facts you (may) not have known

Astronomy is one of the oldest sciences of mankind. It was born long before the written word - when people began to lift their heads to the night sky and ask their first questions. For thousands of years, they watched the returns of the sun, the movements of the planets and the irregularities in the sky, and tried to find order in them. But the real revolution didn't come until a few centuries ago with the first telescope. What was the journey from the first observations, through space telescopes and large observatories, to the smart telescopes in our living rooms?
