The scientific instruments on board NASA's James Webb Space Telescope are so sensitive that they can tell the weather on an exoplanet a whopping 280 light years away. Using the telescope's mid ...
This artist’s concept shows what the warm Neptune exoplanet WASP-107 b could look like based on recent data gathered by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope along with previous observations from ...
Detecting exoplanets used to be so difficult that scientists spotted the first black hole, detected the leftover radiation from the Big Bang and took snapshots of countless distant galaxies before ...
"This is profoundly different from the composition we see in disks around solar-type stars." Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the richest "menu" of hydrocarbons ...
A surprisingly low amount of methane and a super-sized core hide within the cotton candy–like planet WASP-107 b. The revelations, based on data obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope, mark the ...
A surprisingly low reservoir of methane may explain how a planet around a nearby star grew weirdly puffy, according to new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The finding ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured what scientists believe is the most distant known galaxy, after observing what astronomers call a "Cosmic Dawn" for the past two years.
The James Webb Space Telescope has smashed its own record for detecting the most distant known galaxy. Called JADES-GS-z14-0, the collection of stars was spied as it was a mere 290 million years ...
May 30, 2024 — New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens ... NASA's James Webb Space ...
Nearly one million miles away from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope studies the cosmos. Since launching on December 25, 2021, JWST has provided ground-breaking insights into the history of ...
