Astronomers have found nearly 6,000 exoplanets orbiting other stars. But for every confirmed detection, there are countless mere hints, inconclusive observations that could just as well be blips of ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first look at black holes secretly snacking on stars within dusty galaxies. JWST’s ability to pick up detailed infrared signals lets it peer past the dust ...
There might be a huge planet lurking near one of the closest stars to Earth. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has imaged a possible planet near Alpha Centauri A, a sun-like star that forms ...
A supernova remnant, Cassiopeia A (Cas A), resulting from a stellar explosion approximately 11,000 years ago, is being studied using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). JWST observations focus on a ...
Sometimes in science a negative result is just as important as a positive one. And sometimes data artifacts get the better of even the best space observatories. Both of those ideas seem to hold true ...
In some of its most ambitious work yet, the James Webb Space Telescope looked to spot a planet in a potentially habitable orbit around Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sunlike star to our solar system ...
As missions like Kepler and TESS discovered more rocky exoplanets in recent years, scientists looked forward to the launch of the JWST. The powerful space telescope has the ability to gather infrared ...
Comet 3I/ATLAS is not beating the allegations that it is a supremely weird object. The fastest interstellar comet yet is also breaking records in other aspects, in particular in its outgassing of ...
