A centuries-old supernova in the constellation Cassiopeia has been illuminated by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), unveiling intricate interstellar structures around 11,000 light-years away. The telescope's infrared capabilities captured…
Observing space allows scientists to peer into the universe's past. This is possible because light requires time to travel over vast cosmic distances. By capturing light from celestial objects, telescopes…
A recent study utilising data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has confirmed the existence of an unusual cosmic effect termed the "Einstein zig-zag." This rare phenomenon occurs when…
Astronomers have been perplexed by the existence of supermassive black holes detected during the universe's earliest phases, just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. Recent findings, as…
Using advanced infrared imaging, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured unprecedented details of the supermassive star cluster Westerlund 1, located around 12,000 light-years from Earth. The findings, released by…
A new perspective of the Sombrero Galaxy (M104) has been provided by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), capturing its unique mid-infrared structure for the first time. Shared on November…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has identified five potential galaxies that may date back to approximately 200 million years after the Big Bang, placing them among the earliest ever…
A recent study published in The Astronomical Journal has revealed the discovery of a fourth planet in the Kepler-51 system, an already remarkable planetary system known for hosting three ultra-low-density…
Astronomers have identified a significant population of previously undetected asteroids in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter, according to research published on December 9, 2024, in Nature. This discovery…
A striking new image has been captured near the edge of the Small Magellanic Cloud, a galaxy located approximately 200,000 light-years from Earth. The image, highlighting the star cluster NGC…
