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.
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. Shortly after NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope began its science operations,
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 watches planet-forming dust shells zooming through space
The shells of carbon-rich dust are expanding outward into space at the breakneck velocity of 1,600 miles per second.
Powerful Webb Telescope captures photos of one of the earliest supernova ever seen
The James Webb Space Telescope captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen using infrared technology, and creating a time lapse of the phenomena.
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.
