Space photo of the week: James Webb telescope spots galaxy churning out stars in overtime
The James Webb Space Telescope peers into NGC 4449, a small galaxy showing explosive star formation that astronomers can't quite explain.
James Webb telescope sees 'birth' of 3 of the universe's earliest galaxies in world-1st observations
The James Webb Space Telescope may have spotted the birth of some of the earliest galaxies in the universe for the first time ever, new research hints.
Mysterious 'puffy' planet may finally be explained by James Webb Space Telescope
The exoplanet WASP-107 b is one of the least dense planets ever discovered. New James Webb telescope observations may reveal how the mysterious world got so 'puffy'.
James Webb telescope spots 2 monster black holes merging at the dawn of time, challenging our understanding of the universe
New observations with the James Webb Space Telescope reveal the most distant pair of merging black holes ever spotted. The discovery further challenges leading theories of cosmology.
James Webb telescope measures the starlight around the universe's biggest, oldest black holes for 1st time ever
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have separated the light of a quasar from the light of its surrounding stars, offering unprecedented insight into how the universe's oldest black holes grew.
James Webb telescope spots wind blowing faster than a bullet on '2-faced planet' with eternal night
New James Webb Space Telescope observations of the exoplanet WASP-43b reveal that the hot gas giant is tidally locked, meaning one side permanently faces its sun while the other always stares out into space.
No, the James Webb Space Telescope probably didn't detect signs of alien life — but it soon could
The James Webb Space Telescope's possible detection of biological chemicals on the exoplanet K2-18b may just have been methane gas, a new study cautions. Planned follow-up observations could solve the mystery for good.
James Webb telescope reveals fiery 'mane' of the Horsehead Nebula in spectacular new images
Captured in infrared light by the James Webb Space Telescope, the star-forming Horsehead Nebula is located 1,300 light-years away in the Orion Constellation.
James Webb telescope's 'shocking' discovery may hint at hidden exomoon around 'failed star'
JWST's surprise discovery of methane emissions and likely aurorae over a distant brown dwarf could indicate this "failed star" is orbited by an active moon.
Researchers solve mystery of inexplicably dense galaxy at the heart of perfect 'Einstein ring' snapped by James Webb telescope
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered an inexplicably dense galaxy inside an "Einstein ring" last year. Now, researchers think they can explain this cosmic conundrum.
