"This data provides us with rare insight into how galaxies were transformed in the early universe." ...

"This is a crucial step towards characterizing giant planets beyond our solar system." ...

Now, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have mapped the planet’s auroras in 3D for the first time.

The planet's lopsided magnetic field is twisting the light shows.

Woven through the universe are forces, often unseen, that dictate its grand design. For example, at the very heart of nearly ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has produced the first-ever three-dimensional images of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, revealing a chaotic and shimmering world of infrared auroras.

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory have captured the clearest image yet of a galaxy cluster in the making, seen when the universe was only one billion years old.

"We found an unexpected chemical complexity, with abundances far higher than predicted by current theoretical models." ...

If a pair of black holes coalesce into one, much of that vast energy can be released in a few seconds.

Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic distances.

The telescope primarily detects light in the infrared in order to observe sources such as the first galaxies and protostars.

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and an ice giant known for its striking blue-green color, caused by methane in its atmosphere. It rotates on its side with a 98-degree tilt, creating extreme ...
