The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the oldest "jellyfish galaxy" ever seen, revealing how the universe shaped distant worlds long before Earth existed. This cosmic discovery is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies formed in the early universe.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just captured the most detailed view ever of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how auroras dance across the ice giant's surface in ways unlike anywhere else in our solar system. The breakthrough is helping scientists understand mysterious distant planets beyond our own cosmic neighborhood.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first three-dimensional map of Uranus's upper atmosphere, revealing how energy moves through the ice giant and shaping our understanding of distant planets. The groundbreaking observations captured a full rotation of the planet and discovered how its unusual magnetic field creates sweeping auroras.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the first 3D maps of Uranus's auroras, revealing how energy moves through the planet's strange, tilted magnetic field. The breakthrough could help us understand distant worlds beyond our solar system.
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning images of a galaxy nicknamed the "cosmic jellyfish" that existed 8.5 billion years ago. The discovery is rewriting what scientists thought they knew about how galaxies evolved in the early universe.
Scientists launched a telescope on a balloon that floats 25 miles above Earth to study distant planets in ways even the James Webb telescope can't. The mission could double our understanding of alien atmospheres while costing a fraction of traditional space telescopes.
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope discovered something extraordinary: a runaway black hole leaving a trail of newborn stars in its wake. This cosmic wanderer is rewriting what we know about the universe.
Two powerful space telescopes just spotted a galaxy cluster so massive and so old, it shouldn't exist according to our current understanding of the universe. The discovery could reveal secrets about how the cosmos grew up faster than anyone thought possible.
Two Australian scientists used artificial intelligence to repair blurring in NASA's James Webb Space Telescope without leaving Earth. Their software breakthrough restored crystal-clear vision to the telescope's infrared camera, achieving what once would have required a costly astronaut mission.
New telescope data suggests the mysterious invisible force holding galaxies together might be a quantum fog, not particles. This discovery could rewrite our understanding of how the universe actually works.
The James Webb Space Telescope just found the most distant galaxy ever detected, shining from just 300 million years after the universe began. Scientists are also uncovering secrets about the first black holes and mapping dark matter we've never seen before.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the most detailed map yet of dark matter, revealing the invisible structure that holds our universe together. The breakthrough shows nearly 800,000 galaxies and helps explain how the cosmos evolved into its current form.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered an unexpectedly rich mix of carbon molecules in a distant galaxy's dusty core, including a highly reactive compound never before seen outside the Milky Way. The finding reveals that hidden galaxy centers are chemically alive, constantly breaking down and rebuilding carbon in ways scientists hadn't predicted.
The James Webb Space Telescope discovered an unexpected treasure trove of organic molecules in a distant galaxy's dust-shrouded core, including some that could lead to the formation of life's essential ingredients. Scientists found benzene, methane, and even a carbon molecule never before seen outside our Milky Way.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the most detailed map yet of dark matter, the invisible force that shapes galaxies and makes life possible. The breakthrough reveals how this mysterious substance acts as the universe's "scaffolding."
Astronomers tracked a rare visitor from beyond our solar system as comet 3I/ATLAS passed through on a one-way journey. The James Webb Space Telescope revealed its unique composition, offering scientists an exciting glimpse into how other star systems form planets.
Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have created the sharpest map ever of dark matter, the invisible substance holding our universe together. The breakthrough reveals how this mysterious force shaped everything needed for life to exist.
Scientists discovered a giant "Red Potato" galaxy that mysteriously stopped forming stars despite floating in a gas-rich cosmic neighborhood. The James Webb Space Telescope revealed this cosmic puzzle could unlock secrets about how galaxies evolve in the early universe.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope just discovered the most distant galaxy ever observed, formed only 300 million years after the universe began. The breakthrough gives scientists an unprecedented window into how the first galaxies took shape in the cosmic dawn.
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to create the most detailed map of dark matter ever made, revealing this invisible cosmic force across 800,000 galaxies. The breakthrough offers new insights into how the universe's most mysterious substance shapes the galaxies we see today.
