The James Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of galaxies being born at the cosmic dawn. This is the first time this has ever been witnessed by astronomers, confirming models for galaxy formation.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: James Webb Space Telescope, JWST, Galaxy, Stars, Astronomy, University of Copenhagen, Hydrogen
The James Webb Space Telescope may have been touted as a successor to Hubble, but the old-timer still has some life left in it yet. These two iconic instruments have now teamed up to take a star-studded deep-field image of the colorful “Christmas Tree galaxy cluster.”Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble, Stars, Astronomy, Infrared, Infra-Red, Optical, G
The James Webb Space Telescope has achieved one of the first major science goals announced for it way back in 2017. The infrared instrument has now probed the atmosphere around one of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: TRAPPIST-1, Exoplanet, James Webb Space Telescope, JWST, Infrared, Atmosphere, University of Michigan
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has snapped the most detailed color portrait of the most distant star ever detected. Named Earendel, the massive B-type star located in the constellation of Cetus is 12.9 billion light years from Earth and is within a billion years of the Big Bang.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: James Webb Space Telescope, NASA, Astronomy
The James Webb Space Telescope has already spotted some amazing things in its first year of science operations, but if a new study holds water it might be one of the most important finds of all time. A team of astrophysicists proposes that three bright objects detected by Webb in the distant universe could be the first candidate “dark stars,” hypothetical celestial objects powered by the annihila
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted complex organic molecules, which usually form in smoke and smog, in the very distant universe. With help from a galactic gravitational anomaly, the telescope could see the molecules from more than 12 billion light-years away.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: James Webb Space Telescope, JWST, Molecules, Organic, Gravitational lensing, Galaxy,
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected water vapor on an object in the asteroid belt, a region of the solar system where it wasn’t known to survive. The new observations also reveal something missing unexpectedly.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Comets, Asteroid, ESA, Water, James Webb Space Telescope, JWST, Solar System, Carbon Dioxide
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected water vapor near a planet in another system, which could mark the first direct detection of a rocky exoplanet’s atmosphere. But there’s a big if hanging over the find.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Astronomy, James Webb Space Telescope, JWST, Exoplanet, Planet, Atmosphere, Water, NASA, Life
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured spectacular new infrared images of the planet Uranus revealing new details of the ice giant's atmosphere over the north polar region, its ring system, and multiple moons.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: James Webb Space Telescope, NASA, ESA
Operational only since July 2022, the James Webb Space telescope has already provided the world with astounding images of the universe. This includes new finds like "impossibly massive" galaxies and the most comprehensive profile of an exoplanet's atmosphere, but also fresh insights into celestial bodies we've long observed including Jupiter and various other galaxies. The super instrument's late
