The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has captured and amazing view of the Sombrero Galaxy (Messier 104). The galaxy is ...

“Telescopes are time machines,” said lead author Fabio Pacucci, a Clay Fellow in the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “If you look at the moon, you see it as it was one second ago, and if ...

This spectacular new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shows a star cocooned within a massive disk of gas and dust. It's a protoplanetary disk — a ring of dense gas and dust surrounding ...

"Webb was the key that made it happen." A team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope has found tiny dust particles traveling far from their home galaxy, surviving a perilous journey ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured an unprecedented look inside a vibrant and glittering cluster of newborn stars drifting in the cosmos — some nearly eight times hotter than the sun. The ...

If "chaos is a ladder," then brilliant stars forming from discordant gas and dust are the ultimate example of that. The James Webb telescope has imaged one of the more dramatic stellar nurseries in ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Quintet of Galaxies From the Early Universe JWST and Hubble uncover JWST’s Quintet, a rare five-galaxy merger from the early universe, forming stars at a ...

Astronomers might have discovered a galaxy that formed extremely early in the universe, nearly 200 million years before its closest competitor, but they caution there could be other explanations too.

In a far-off galaxy named Makani—Hawaiian for “wind”—astronomers have spotted something remarkable. Tiny dust particles, heated by the light of newborn stars, were carried out of the galaxy by ...

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have taken a beautiful new image of the star cluster Pismis 24, which resides in the core of the nearby Lobster Nebula. Pismis 24 is ...

In a distant galaxy called Makani, particles of dust were warmed by the light of newborn stars before being flung out into space by a massive starburst-driven wind. Over the course of 100 million ...
