James Webb Space Telescope

Scientists are slowly getting to the bottom of how some of the universe's most mind-bending worlds came to be.

The James Webb Space Telescope has zoomed in on a mere speck of light seen by Hubble, identifying it as a massive early galaxy that existed just 510 million years after the Big Bang.

Two infant stars are surrounded by swirling clouds that astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope found contain icy molecules that could form the building blocks of life.

The JWST's findings further scientists' conundrum of having different measurements of the expansion of the universe, which may require new physics to resolve.

Astronomers have discovered the oldest known "dead" galaxy in recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, challenging current models of the early universe.

The powerful space telescope zoomed in on Mors-Somnus, a binary pair of icy asteroids that originated within the Kuiper Belt.

With help from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have identified a possible lead on how some supermassive black holes get so incredibly big.

The hunt for the first stars, known as Population III stars, may be nearing an end as the James Webb Space Telescope spotted tantalizing evidence for them in one of the earliest galaxies known.

The James Webb Telescope will be busy during Cycle 3 , with astronomers using the powerful telescope to hunt exomoons and supermassive black holes and investigate cosmic evolution.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered how massive stars sculpt planetary systems and stunt planet birth with bombardments of harsh radiation.
