A stellar cradle 3,300 light-years away has been captured in infrared. Let's examine why we can observe the birth of stars ...
Gold on the left, red on the right and a blinding diffraction-spiked star in the middle: that is how NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope rendered NGC 7129, a star-forming region in the constellation ...

Astronomers suspect there is at least one other star interacting with the material cast off by the central dying star in NGC 6072, creating the abnormal appearance of this planetary nebula. Credit: ...
NASA's James Webb telescope detected shifting water clouds on WISE 0855, a cold brown dwarf, revealing weather and water ...
UF researchers used the James Webb Space Telescope to capture visually striking images of the W51 star-forming region. The telescope allowed them to see through dust clouds and observe atoms and ...
Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a giant planet outside our solar system, called an exoplanet, hiding within one of the most intensely studied planetary systems in ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an exoplanet using the direct-imaging technique. The host star's light was blocked using a coronagraph to reveal a planet to its right. The light at the ...
After more than a decade of development, NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched to space on Sunday. With its unprecedented field of view—100 times that of the Hubble Space Telescope—Roman ...
When you think of telescopes in space, you probably think of the Hubble Space Telescope and its younger, larger sibling, the James Webb Space Telescope. Both are multi-billion-dollar international ...
NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched on Aug. 30, 2026, beginning a journey that will take it about a million ...
The spectacular night-time display can help ground-based telescopes rival their space counterparts in accurate observations.
