On May 20, 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope sent its first image to Earth. This photo turned out to be 50% sharper than images from ground-based telescopes. In August of that year, Hubble made one of its first discoveries,

HH 30 is a luminous region surrounding a newborn star, or protostar. The James Webb Space Telescope helped reveals unprecedented details of it.

Like its mythological namesake, the Phoenix Cluster burns with blisteringly hot gas, which cools to birth stars. The James Webb Space Telescope has now learned how this galaxy cluster does it.

On December 25, 2021, the largest and most powerful space telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, was launched into space for $10 billion. A month later, it reached its goal in solar orbit at a distance of almost 1 million miles from Earth.

In a stunning astronomical discovery, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled a spectacular image of HH 30, a young star energizing the surrounding space and illuminating a protoplanetary disk. This disk, a swirling vortex of gas and dust, has the potential to give birth to a new solar system, Science Alert reported.

Scientists didn't expect that stars would be able to still form in the dwarf galaxy known as Leo P, which the James Webb Telescope recently imaged.

The James Webb telescope used a near-infrared camera to capture an image of the Leo P dwarf galaxy which is located in the Leo constellation.
