The Latest Breaking News from JWST

Scientists thought they saw a distant star swallow a planet for the first time ever. But new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest something very different, but equally rare, may have happened instead.

A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope is allowing astronomers to examine the complex and turbulent final stages of a dying star.

The most distant and earliest "dead" massive galaxy ever seen shows some galaxies lived fast and died young shortly after the Big Bang.

New James Webb Space Telescope images of the stellar nursery Sgr C, near the galactic center, reveal why it contains fewer stars than expected.

"All together, we have a better sense of what this building-sized asteroid is like."

The JWST was used in a creative way to capture direct images of distant worlds.

JWST could potentially detect the signature of methyl halide compounds, produced by microbial life in Earth's ocean, on hypothetical hycean exoplanets.

A new model that incorporates data gathered by the JWST could help scientists understand the composition and mass of objects in the distant Kuiper Belt and beyond.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has directly imaged four planets orbiting the host star HR 8799 about 130 light-years from Earth in the constellation Pegasus.

Deep observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed an exceptionally large galaxy in the early universe. It’s a cosmic giant whose light has travelled over 12 billion years to reach us. We’ve dubbed it the Big Wheel, with our findings published today in Nature Astronomy.

This butterfly shaped nebula is the perfect target for the James Webb Space Telescope to learn more about star formation.
