NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) and MIRI (Mid-Infrared Instrument) captured amazing ...

The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it's sensed light from a ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and the Keck II telescope have collected first-of-its-kind evidence for cloud formation on ...

A research team led by Shuo Huang (NAOJ and Nagoya University) has observed a massive and extremely active barred spiral ...

In April, scientists captured global attention by announcing they’d found a molecule in a faraway planet’s atmosphere that could signal life there. But a new analysis by University of Chicago ...

A new device uses quantum optics to filter out starlight in real time — bringing scientists closer to directly observing ...

The mystery of galaxies in the early Universe just got even weirder. A team of astronomers has identified a giant spiral galaxy so well-formed that it already has a stable galactic bar; a long, ...

The galaxy MoM-z14 dates back to 280 million years after the big bang, and the prevalence of such early galaxies is puzzling ...

But when scientists peer very far back, they find conundrums. JWST observations of the distant past are at odds with ...

At long last, particles of water–ice have been discovered in the frozen Kuiper Belt of another star. The discovery, made by ...

When the JWST came to life and began observations, one of its first jobs was to gaze back in time at the early universe. The ...
