NASA's OAO-2 was the world's first space telescope, launched in 1968.
OAO-1 was launched in 1966, but suffered a power failure before it could become opertaional, and the Soviet's first space telescope - Orion 1 - didn't go up until 1971.

Chinese Scientists Complete a Concept Study for a 6-Meter Space Telescope to Find Habitable Exoplanets
With JWST safely in space, researchers are designing the next generation of space telescope that could Earth-sized worlds orbiting sunlike stars. Chinese scientists released a concept paper this week for the Tianlin mission, a 6-meter UV/Optical/IR space telescope, which could begin operations in 2045. This telescope would search for rocky planets in the habitable zones around nearby stars and search for biosignatures using direct imaging. The team estimates they could obtain the spectrum of 20 candidate exoplanets in the first five years of operation.

Europe's Euclid space telescope blasted off Saturday, kicking off a first-ever mission to shed light on two of the universe's greatest mysteries: dark energy and dark matter.
After a month-long trip through space, Euclid will join the James Webb telescope at a stable hovering spot around 1.5 million kilometers from Earth called the second Lagrange Point.

"A decade in the making, the mission originally was to have flown to space by way of a Russian #Soyuz rocket. But launch plans were switched to #SpaceX, the California-based venture of #ElonMusk, after war erupted in #Ukraine, and because no slot was immediately available from #Europe’s #Arianne rocket program"

A water 💦 vapour plume from #Saturn’s 🪐 #moon #Enceladus spanning more than 9600 kilometres has been detected by researchers using the #NASA / #ESA / #CSA #JamesWebb #SpaceTelescope 🔭.
In the coming years Webb will serve as the primary tool for observing the #ocean moon Enceladus https://esawebb.org/news/weic2314

#China is funding the concept and considering funding the feasibility study for Tianlin or "neighbor in the sky" in Chinese, a 6-meter class UV to optical #SpaceTelescope searching for Earth-like planets.
It aims to begin operations by 2035.

Stunning insights of the inner workings of quasars! Using #eROSITA #Spacetelescope🛰, the study published in @royalastrosoc & led by Elias Kammoun from IRAP France and #MPE #PhDstudent Zsofi Igo suggests significant changes in the #XRay emission of #quasar #J1144, the most luminous quasar seen in the last 9 billion years of #CosmicHistory.

Helium-burning white dwarf:
Using #ESA_XMM and #eROSITA #spacetelescope, a team lead by #MPE researchers discovered a #binarystar🌟🌟, where material flows onto a #WhiteDwarf, but instead of #hydrogen, the material is #helium, making it the first helium-burning white dwarf ever discovered!
