Space Astronomers Discover a "Mirror Image" of the Milky Way from Billions of Years Ago Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a galaxy that looks very similar to our Milky Way in its early stages of evolution. It was named the Sparkler because almost two dozen glittering globular clusters orbit it.
Space NASA's Webb Studied the Atmosphere of an Alien Exoplanet in Detail The planet's atmosphere is composed of sulfur and silicates. When they interact with the parent star's light, they produce sulfur dioxide – this is the first time such a compound has been found in the atmosphere of an exoplanet.
Space James Webb's New Image Shows the Early Days of Star Formation The protostar is now hidden in an hourglass-shaped cloud of dust and gas, and it has yet to develop the ability to generate its own energy through nuclear fusion, like the Sun and other stars.
Space James Webb Telescope Spotted Two Unusually Bright Galaxies from the Early Universe The galaxies are extremely bright, and one of the reasons for this may be that they could have been very massive, with lots of low-mass stars. Or they could be much less massive, consisting of a smaller number of extremely bright Population III stars.
Space The Webb Telescope Captures Mysterious Rings Around a Distant Star Astronomer at NOIRLab and principal investigator of the project Ryan Lau confirmed that these rings are real, not an optical illusion. He promised that scientists would soon publish a full research paper explaining this phenomenon.
Space NASA Reveals New Stunning Images of Jupiter Taken by the Webb Telescope The images that show the planet's features in detail were taken by the Webb telescope's near-infrared camera (NIRCam). It can observe celestial bodies such as stars, nebulae, and planets that are too cold or too faint to be seen in visible light.
Space NASA Shared the First Detailed Image of a Planet Outside Our Solar System The exoplanet is located about 385 light years from Earth, and, according to various estimates, it is 6-12 times larger than Jupiter and is between 15 million and 20 million years old.
Space James Webb Telescope Captures a Stunning View of Cartwheel Galaxy Cartwheel is located at a distance of about 500 million light-years from Earth in the Sculptor constellation, and its estimated diameter is 150 thousand light-years.
Space Astronomers Discover the Oldest Galaxy in the Universe The James Webb Space Telescope has detected the oldest galaxy in the universe – GLASS-z13. It is assumed that it was formed 300 million years after the Big Bang and is now 13.5 billion years old.
Space James Webb Telescope Captured a New Image of Jupiter and Its Moons The new image clearly shows the famous Great Red Spot, an Earth-sized storm that has been raging on the distant giant for centuries, and even some of the planet's thin rings.
Space NASA Reveals Five More Breathtaking Images from the James Webb Space Telescope After unveiling the first full-color image of space taken by the James Webb Space Telescope yesterday, NASA shared five more stunning and breathtaking images of stellar objects, including distant galaxies, nebulas, and other wonders of the universe.
Space NASA Unveils First Full-Color Image Taken by the James Webb Space Telescope The rest of the high-resolution color images will debut on July 12. The first five photos highlight James Webb's unprecedented scientific capabilities and should include pictures of galaxies, nebulas, and more.
Space James Webb Space Telescope Gets Hit by a Micrometeoroid Since its launch in December 2021, the telescope has already been hit by at least four different micrometeoroids. However, the latest one was significantly larger than NASA engineers predicted during ground tests.
Space The Alignment of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Is Now Complete It is now ready to move on to the next and final series of preparations before it begins its scientific work. The last phase of preparations is known as science instrument commissioning.
Space NASA May Still Rename the James Webb Space Telescope Opponents of the name are calling for the project to be renamed because of the alleged bad reputation of James Webb himself. People remembered that during his time in the federal government, he fueled discrimination against the LGBT community.
