NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) first photographed the Sombrero galaxy late last year. Months later, the $10 billion space telescope has set its sights back on the galaxy, this time at different wavelengths of light, completing a mind-bending photo of Sombrero's galactic disk. [Read More]
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)'s new "Picture of the Month" shows the mega-monster galaxy cluster Abell S1063. This impressive collection of galaxies is about 4.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has achieved another record. Scientists using the groundbreaking telescope have detected light from an ancient galaxy, MoM-z14, just 280 million years following the Big Bang.
The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured brilliant new details of the auroras on Jupiter, the Solar System's largest planet. The auroras observed on Jupiter are a staggering 100 times brighter than the auroral displays observed on Earth. [Read More]
