JWST captures bright-eyed galaxy smiling.
An interaction between an elliptical galaxy and a spiral galaxy, collectively known as Arp 107, seems to have given the spiral a happier outlook thanks to the two bright ‘eyes’ and the wide semicircular ‘smile.’
Check out the stunning images of two colliding galaxies (Arp 142) taken by James Web Space Telescope
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures infrared images of galaxies Arp 142, comprising the Penguin (NGC 2936) and the Egg (NGC 2937), which are interacting in a slow cosmic dance. Their mingling began 25 to 75 million years ago, triggering star formation in the Penguin, while the Egg remains mostly unchanged.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope finds carbon source on the surface of Jupiter’s moon Europa.
Astronomers using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have identified carbon dioxide in a specific region on the icy surface of Europa. Analysis indicates that this carbon likely originated in the subsurface ocean and was not delivered by meteorites or other external sources.
JWST discovers carbon-bearing molecules, methane and carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere of the K2-18b exoplanet.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has conducted a new investigation into K2-18 b, an exoplanet that’s 8.6 times larger than Earth. The telescope discovered carbon-bearing molecules like methane and carbon dioxide, adding to recent studies that suggest K2-18 b could be a Hycean exoplanet. This type of exoplanet has the potential to have a hydrogen-rich…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered new details in Supernova 1987A.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered new details in Supernova 1987A with its NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument. Structures, some only visible in infrared wavelengths, provide clues into the development of supernovas over time.
James Webb Space Telescope hits 1-year anniversary and celebrates with a close-up image of the birth of Sun-like stars in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has completed its first year of science operations, delivering on its promise to reveal the universe in unprecedented detail. In celebration of this milestone, NASA has released an image of a small star-forming region in the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex, captured by the telescope.
James Webb Space Telescope Detects Most Distant Active Supermassive Black Hole to Date
Researchers have discovered the most distant active supermassive black hole to date with the James Webb Space Telescope. The galaxy, CEERS 1019, existed just over 570 million years after the big bang, and its black hole is less massive than any other yet identified in the early universe.
James Webb Space Telescope identifies the earliest strands of the cosmic web – filaments that existed just 830 million years after the Big Bang.
Galaxies in the universe gather into clusters and interconnected filamentary structures with voids in between, forming the “cosmic web”. Over time, gravity draws matter together, making the filamentary structures more distinct.
James Webb Space Telescope detects crucial carbon molecule in Orion Nebula.
A group of global scientists recently discovered a new carbon compound in space using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. This groundbreaking discovery of methyl cation (CH3+) in a young star system called d203-506 is the first of its kind and is significant as it assists in the formation of more complex carbon-based molecules.
