Webb first observed the region called Sagittarius C in 2023. Now researchers are now using those observations to study star formation in the wider area around the center of the Milky Way, known as the ...

The powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just completed the first of two planned observations of the infamous "city-killer" asteroid 2024 YR4, which will make a perilously close approach ...

The NASA James Webb Space Telescope captured a stunning image of an Einstein ring, an optical phenomenon created by gravitational lensing. This rare sight, caused by light from a distant galaxy ...

A jaw-dropping new space image shows one galaxy hiding behind another. The rare cosmic phenomenon, called an Einstein ring, occurs when massive objects can bend light due to their gravitational ...

Last week, astronomers unveiled exciting new images of planets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani star systems — and it was all thanks to a creative use of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Labeling, compass arrows, and scale bars provide context for these MeerKAT and James Webb Space Telescope images. The star-forming region Sagittarius C, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope ...

"This is the observatory's full field of view, a rectangular area about 20 times wider than the full moon." You know how the James Webb Space Telescope is said to be revolutionizing astronomy ...

A newborn star, a blast of glowing gas, and a distant spiral galaxy — all caught in one stunning snapshot by the James Webb Space Telescope. This rare cosmic overlap forms a swirling ...

The James Webb Space Telescope’s JADES survey recently observed a galaxy that shouldn’t be visible, because it existed only 300 million years after the Big Bang. At that point in cosmic ...

But its legacy lives on. The James Webb Space Telescope identified the lights in the distant planet’s atmosphere, which could not be seen by earlier telescopes or spacecraft. The boost in ...

2025 — The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has ...

This new NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month features a rare cosmic phenomenon called an Einstein ring. (ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, G. Mahler) (NewsNation) — A new photo taken by ...
