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 ...
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 ...

JWST finds unusual black hole in the center of the Infinity Galaxy: 'How can we make sense of this?'
"The biggest surprise of all was that the black hole was not located inside either of the two nuclei but in the middle. We asked ourselves: How can we make sense of this?" Using the James Webb Space ...
Astronomers at MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer through the dust of nearby galaxies and into the aftermath of a black hole's stellar ...
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 ...
WASP-121b is unlike anything in our Solar System. This giant planet orbits its star so closely that it completes a full orbit in just 30.5 hours. Its dayside reaches a scorching 3000°C, while the ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists spotted thin and thick disks in galaxies as far back as 10 billion years ago—something never seen before. These observations reveal that galaxies first ...
JWST produced a sharper image of galaxy cluster Abell S1063 than Hubble. Abell S1063's gravity acts like a magnifying glass, showing us distant galaxies. The JWST image reveals many more early ...
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 ...
All (or at least most) astronomical eyes are on 3I/ATLAS, our most recent interstellar visitor that was discovered in early July. Given its relatively short observational window in our solar system, ...
