Methane gas may signal an atmosphere or geological activity on a distant dwarf planet located at the outer edge of the Solar System. A research team led by the Southwest Research Institute has detected gas Read More
JWST placed new limits on planets around Epsilon Eridani and demonstrated an improved technique for spotting faint signals. In science, a negative finding can be just as valuable as a positive one. Even the most Read More
NASA’s Webb Telescope Discovers 300 Mysterious Objects That Shouldn’t Exist
Drawing on observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers at the University of Missouri have identified 300 unusual candidates for early galaxies. In a recent study, researchers from the University of Missouri examined distant Read More
James Webb Spots Birthplace of Planets in Extreme Ultraviolet Conditions
Penn State astronomers are using data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, combined with theoretical models, to investigate a distant, radiation-bathed protoplanetary disk. The basic ingredients needed to build planets can survive even in Read More
Astronomers have discovered the most distant confirmed black hole, hidden inside a rare galaxy known as a “Little Red Dot.” Its enormous size and early existence challenge current theories about how galaxies and black holes Read More
This image from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope revisits one of the most iconic regions of the sky, the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, through the eyes of two of Webb’s instruments. Read More
