New research reveals how quiet galactic engines can help shape entire galaxies.

"We found an unexpected chemical complexity, with abundances far higher than predicted by current theoretical models." ...

JWST and ESA’s Ariel mission plan coordinated exoplanet observations starting in 2030, combining high-resolution targeting and large-scale surveys to expand atmospheric data collection.

Gas giants are massive worlds made mostly of hydrogen and helium. They lack solid surfaces, and in our solar system, Jupiter ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured new imagery of supernova remnant Cassiopeia A. It is 11,000 light-years away in ...

Deep inside a nearby galaxy cloaked in thick clouds of gas and dust, astronomers have uncovered a surprising treasure trove ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered a new dwarf galaxy, which received designation ...

Massive stars have an outsized influence on their environment and the galaxies they call home. These behemoths have the ...

A distant star system with four super-sized gas giants has revealed a surprise. Thanks to JWST’s powerful vision, astronomers detected sulfur in their atmospheres — a chemical clue that they formed ...
