Astronomers solve mystery of "little red dots" spotted by James Webb Space Telescope
Ever since NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was launched, it’s been revealing more about the universe than even most astronomers expected. Some of the data JWST has sent back to Earth have been awe-inspiring, but some of it has been downright confusing or challenging to dominant theories in cosmology.
James Webb Space Telescope discovers one of the earliest 'truly gargantuan' supernovas ever seen
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted one of the earliest and most distant supernovas, marking the death of a stellar monster 20 times the mass of the sun.
James Webb Space Telescope sees little red dots feeding black holes: 'This is how you solve a universe-breaking problem'
The James Webb Space Telescope's ancient "little red dot" galaxies have been seen as a sign of "broken cosmology." Feeding supermassive black holes may have come to the rescue.
James Webb Space Telescope's 'little red dots' come into focus
A cosmic object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has flummoxed astronomers. Now, a research team has studied hundreds of these "little red dots" and found clues about their identity.
Centuries-old supernova guides James Webb Space Telescope through an interstellar gap
"We think every dense, dusty region that we see, and most of the ones we don't see, look like this on the inside — we just have never been able to look inside them before."
Step inside a virtual reality art piece inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope
Ashley Zelinskie's VR artwork Twin Quasar was inspired by the iconic deep-space image from the James Webb Space Telescope that introduced a new audience to gravitational lensing.
James Webb Space Telescope Just Spotted Something Astronomers Have Never Seen in our Solar System
Data from the James Webb Space Telescope and advanced computer models have classified a type of planet unlike any in our solar system.
Are James Webb Space Telescope images really so colorful?
When Pagan and DePasquale first receive the images, they appear in black and white. The colors are added to the image later, as the data from the various filters are translated into the spectrum of visible light, Pagan explained. The longest wavelengths appear red, while the shorter wavelengths are blue or purple.
James Webb Space Telescope Detects Supernova From 11.4 Billion Years Ago
The James Webb Space Telescope identified one of the oldest supernovas, AT 2023adsv, revealing early universe phenomena
James Webb telescope captures 1st 'mid-infrared' flare from Milky Way's supermassive black hole
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a mid-infrared picture of Sagittarius A*, filling in a long-standing gap in observations..
Astronomers Use James Webb to Unveil a Planet Unlike Any Other in Our Solar System
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have uncovered a planet so extraordinary it has defied all existing classifications. The planet, GJ 1214 b, is located a mere 48 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Ophiuchus and has become a focal point for groundbreaking research.
Webb’s Stunning Discovery: Could These Mysterious “Little Red Dots” Be the Universe’s Earliest Black Holes?
Astronomers compile a large sample of an unusual class of objects in an effort to connect the dots to the early universe.
A tiny galaxy ceased making stars for billions of years. Then it rebooted.
But researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope, a collaboration of NASA and its European and Canadian space ...
