The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) is a world-renowned astronomical research center based in Baltimore, Maryland, responsible for the scientific operations of some of NASA’s most significant space telescopes, including the Hubble Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). STScI plays a central role in mission planning, data analysis, and the archiving and distribution of astronomical data to scientists around the globe. Its work enables groundbreaking discoveries about the universe—from the formation of galaxies and stars to the atmospheres of distant exoplanets. This page features the latest research, imagery, and insights coming from STScI’s pivotal contributions to space science.
