This shimmering view of interstellar gas and dust was captured by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The nebula is part of a so-called dark cloud, named LDN 1641. It sits at about 1300 light-years from Earth, within a sprawling complex of dusty gas clouds where stars are being formed, in the constellation of Orion.

Euclid Galactic Bulge Survey covers the region that the Roman Galactic Bulge Time Domain Survey will observe over 5 years, enabling powerful synergies to maximize science from the Roman survey.

ESA has released the planned sky coverage of the much-anticipated first public data release from Euclid Wide Survey, Data Release 1 (DR1).

European Space Agency (ESA) will have a workshop on "Working with Euclid Q1: From Data Access to Science Workshop", December 1-3, 2025, in Spain. It is open to all researchers!

The milestone highlights the accelerating rate of discoveries, just over three decades since the first exoplanets were found.

IRSA has released a new Spectrophotometry Tool for measuring spectra from the public SPHEREx Quick Release Spectral Images. The tool is available in the SPHEREx Data Explorer web application, making it easy to visualize the extracted spectra.

An unusual cosmic object is helping scientists better understand the chemistry hidden deep in Jupiter and Saturn’s atmospheres — and potentially those of exoplanets.

The NASA/IPAC Teacher Archive Research Program (NITARP) is celebrating 20 years of high school teachers and students doing astronomy research at IPAC.

We are holding a three-day working meeting to be held on the Caltech campus on April 23, 24, and 25.

Know Thy Star 2 focuses on the effects that stars have in limiting our ability to determine planetary masses, orbits, bulk compositions, and atmospheric abundances - and the state of the art knowledge and techniques that have been developed to mitigate the stellar effects. By Knowing thy Star, we can better Know Thy Planet!

The Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and IPAC at the California Institute of Technology announce ZTF Public Data Release 23.
