The Hobby-Eberly telescope is powered by a 10-meter wide mirror, capable of collecting light from 11 billion years ago. The mirror in the model, 7% the size of the real one, ...

The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) is looking to create one of the largest maps of the universe by creating a catalog of Lyman-alpha-emitting galaxies.

The Hobby-Eberly telescope is powered by a 10-meter wide mirror, capable of collecting light from 11 billion years ago. The mirror in the model, 7% the size of the real one, collects light from ...

The researchers found that the jet was formed when the universe was less than 1.2 billion years old — and for reference, the universe is around 13.8 billion years old now.

In 2021, a team led by astronomer Jack Rubin conducted nearly 120 new observations with an instrument on the Hobby-Eberly Telescope in Texas and found the mistaken signal was associated with the ...
