NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope uncovered a new milestone in exoplanet research by capturing images of exoplanets containing carbon dioxide in their ...

For years, astronomers have sought a way to directly observe the atmospheres of exoplanets, worlds orbiting distant stars.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a ...

Giant Exoplanets in HR 8799 System Likely Formed Like Jupiter and Saturn The first exoplanet was discovered in the 1990s, but ...

Deep observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed an exceptionally large galaxy in the early ...

A disk galaxy, like our Milky Way, is a flat, rotating system with spiral arms spreading out from a central core. These ...

Astronomers have made an exciting discovery—a massive spiral disk galaxy, much larger than expected, in the early universe.

Black holes have such extreme gravity that not even light can escape. They have been caught shredding entire stars and can ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope was recently used to capture direct images of four Saturn-like exoplanets in a solar system 130 light-years away.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide directly on exoplanets for the first time. This allows the formation of planets to be reconstructed.

The JWST’s latest images showcase LBN 483, a nebula shaped by dynamic stellar interactions and magnetic fields.

"We have observed giant gas planets, such as Jupiter or Saturn, but in another solar system," explains the leader of this research on the HR 8799 system, located 130 light-years away. The study ...
