The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is a space telescope that was launched in December 2021 and is currently conducting infrared astronomy. It is the largest optical telescope in space and is equipped with high-resolution and high-sensitivity instru…

Studying Titan's clouds will help scientists understand why Saturn's largest moon is the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere.  Evolution of clouds on Titan over 30 hours between November 4 and November 6, 2022, as seen by Webb …

In a solar system called TRAPPIST-1, 40 light years from the sun, seven Earth-sized planets revolve around a cold star. Astronomers obtained new data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) on TRAPPIST-1 b, the planet in the TRAPPIST-1 solar sys…

The exoplanet K2-18b might host a water ocean. Data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has shown that an exoplanet around a star in the constellation Leo has some of the chemical markers that, on Earth, are associated with living organisms.…

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken a stunning image of a perfectly formed Einstein ring, which is also the most distant gravitationally lensed object ever detected. In the field of one of JWST's largest-area surveys, COSMOS-Web, an Einste…

Peering into the Cosmic Past Equipped with cutting-edge technology and an infrared vision beyond compare, the JWST has unlocked the secrets of the early universe. By observing light that has traversed billions of light-years to reach us, this telescop…

NASA's prolific James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made yet another stunning discovery. The pioneering observatory just peered directly into the atmosphere of a giant exoplanet with two suns (like Tatooine from " Star Wars ") kn…

The James Webb Space Telescope spotted six gigantic galaxies, each roughly the size of our own Milky Way, that formed at a bafflingly fast pace — taking shape just 500 million years after the Big Bang. ] An image of the six massive galaxies, who…

The light from the distant Sparkler galaxy was spotted in the James Webb Telescope's First Deep Field and could teach us how our own Milky Way devoured other galaxies to grow. Top image Description: An artist's impression of the Milky Way in …

Failed observations of a specific target using the JWST have resulted in something way more interesting. In the belt of asteroids that drifts between Mars and Jupiter, the space telescope spotted a previously unknown, and exceptionally tiny, ast…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has found its first planet – and it appears to be very similar to Earth. The planet is almost exactly the same size as our own world, and the precision of the JWST means that scientists can be very sure about th…

Let's see what the weather is on Titan today.... Will there be methane precipitation, or will it be clouded by ethane? NASA 's James Webb Telescope continues to amaze astronomers. It is so powerful that it can see not only Saturn's m…

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has gotten its first look at a hotly anticipated set of targets — the atmospheres of some of the seven Earth-sized planets circling the star TRAPPIST-1, just 12 parsecs (39 light-years) from Earth. All seven li…

The Webb telescope of NASA has discovered a vast " undiscovered country " of galaxies from the early universe. The galaxies were formed around 400 million years after the Big Bang and are extremely bright, perplexing astronomers. Accor…
