James Webb Space Telescope

Astronomers have discovered the oldest known "dead" galaxy in recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, challenging current models of the early universe.

The powerful space telescope zoomed in on Mors-Somnus, a binary pair of icy asteroids that originated within the Kuiper Belt.

With help from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have identified a possible lead on how some supermassive black holes get so incredibly big.

The hunt for the first stars, known as Population III stars, may be nearing an end as the James Webb Space Telescope spotted tantalizing evidence for them in one of the earliest galaxies known.

The James Webb Telescope will be busy during Cycle 3 , with astronomers using the powerful telescope to hunt exomoons and supermassive black holes and investigate cosmic evolution.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered how massive stars sculpt planetary systems and stunt planet birth with bombardments of harsh radiation.

This pretty spiral galaxy is an important milestone for cosmologists seeking to understand the expansion of the universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope investigated low-mass galaxies from the early universe, finding most of these dwarf galaxies' light drove a vital phase of cosmic evolution.

Astronomers believe the first galaxies formed around giant halos of dark matter. But a newly discovered galaxy dating to roughly 13 billion years ago mysteriously appeared long before that process should have occurred.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope astronomers have zoomed in on a dwarf galaxy in the Milky Way's local group to understand the ebb and flow of star formation since the early universe.
