"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ...

The galaxy's discovery challenges our understanding of how galaxies were formed in the early period after the Big Bang.

The discovery comes as a surprise to scientists, as they believed the formation of such well-organized spiral galaxies took ...

James Webb Space Telescope observes mid-infrared flare from Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, revealing flare evolution, synchrotron cooling, and magnetic field measurements.

Indian astronomers have identified a surprisingly mature, Milky Way-like galaxy from the universe’s early era. Named ...

Astronomers taken on the role of cosmic archeologists, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to excavate over 100 disk galaxies from up to 11 billion years ago. Just like artifacts excavated ...

NASA's James Webb Telescope recently got a front-row seat to some incredible stellar fireworks on the outskirts of the Milky Way galaxy. The eruption of gases from a stellar jet in a distant nebula is ...

Coiled and snakelike, a set of four identical shells surrounds a violent stellar dance 8,000 light-years from Earth.

Stretching across 8 light-years, the rare stellar eruption is about twice the distance between our sun and the next nearest stars. The stellar jet is in the nebula Sharpless 2-284, which contains a ...
