In an unprecedented leap forward in our understanding of the universe’s origins, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has potentially identified the earliest galaxy ever observed. This galaxy ...

Astronomers are pulling back the curtain on two of the universe’s biggest mysteries: how planets are born and how invisible matter shapes galaxies. Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and ...

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed a hidden "doomed" star that could help solve a giant astrophysical mystery. The star is a massive red supergiant, which JWST snapped just before the ...

The universe's first galaxies were hot messes, according to a recent study. During their younger days, they were wild, chaotic bundles of turbulent gas, churned up by huge gulps of intergalactic gas, ...

Star formation is a fundamental physical process in our universe. Stars light up the cosmos, and give rise to planets, some of which may support life. While humans have no doubt wondered about stars ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered a massive red supergiant star just before it exploded, finally solving a cosmic mystery. Hidden beneath layers of dust, the doomed star revealed itself ...

In a new study, a team of astronomers report that they have captured the most detailed glimpse yet of a red supergiant before it exploded. Using JWST 's powerful infrared vision, the researchers ...

JWST observations of Saturn's atmosphere revealed unprecedented details of its aurora and upper atmosphere, including previously unseen, complex structures. In the ionosphere (1100 km altitude), dark, ...
