UArizona astronomers have scored some of the largest chunks of observing time with NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

The award recognizes Regents Professor Rieke's work in infrared astronomy. Rieke led the development of the James Webb Space Telescope's Near Infrared Camera.

Jane Rigby, who received her doctoral degree from the UArizona Department of Astronomy in 2006, was recognized for her role in the success of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope mission and her longtime support of diversity and inclusion in science.

Near-Earth asteroid 2016 HO3, also known as Kamo'oalewa, was likely blasted from the Giordano Bruno crater on the moon's far side and has been hurtling through space for several million years, according to a study published in Nature Astronomy.

For their contributions to the field of astrobiology, Dante Lauretta and Daniel Apai have been elected 2023 Fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

UArizona scientists mapped the moon for the Apollo missions. Now, as NASA astronauts prepare to return to the moon, two of the three instruments they'll bring have UArizona ties. The instruments will allow them to map moonquakes and the moon's subsurface.

New findings by UArizona researchers offer important insights into the evolution of the lunar interior, and potentially for planets such as Earth and Mars.

There were times when eclipses ended battles or cost astronomers their heads. Longtime UA astronomer Don McCarthy sheds some light on the celestial spectacle through history.
