The Latest Breaking News from JWST

The JWST has studied the chemical composition of a moon-forming disk circling a giant planet 625 light-years away.

New observations suggest that the dwarf planet Makemake is surrounded by faintly glowing methane gas. Scientists are unsure if the gas is contained within a wispy atmosphere or being ejected into space.

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

The mystery of the James Webb Space Telescope's "little red dots" could be solved if they are not ancient galaxies but are entirely new celestial objects called "black hole stars."

New research using Nasa’s powerful JWST telescope has identified a planet 41 light years away which may have an atmosphere. The planet is within the “habitable zone”, the region around a star where temperatures make it possible for liquid water to exist on the surface of a rocky world. This…

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a planet-forming disk that almost entirely lacks water, challenging prevailing theories.

Near-infrared images from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed five early universe galaxies merging within a large halo.

Sighting by James Webb space telescope of black hole with sparse halo of material could upend theories of the universe

The James Webb Space Telescope has observed a planet-birthing disk of gas and dust around a young star, uncovering some strange and unexpected chemistry.

Scientists have developed a new and improved method to better understand "steam world" exoplanets, a move that could refocus the search for life.

Astronomers using the James Webb telescope alongside Canada's CHIME telescope have pinpointed the origin of one of the brightest blasts of radio energy ever detected in Earth's skies.
