21 August 2023The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has observed the well-known Ring Nebula with unprecedented detail. Formed by a star throwing off its outer layers as it runs out of fuel, the ...
An international team of researchers has used the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope to measure the temperature of the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b. The measurement is based on the planet’s thermal em...
The #nasaesahubblespacetelescope captured a series of photos of rapid changes to the asteroid Dimorphos when it was deliberately hit by a 545-kilogram spacecraft on 26 September 2022. The primary obje...
Researchers using the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope are getting their first look at star formation, gas, and dust in nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths. The dat...
Researchers have confirmed the presence of an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star, using the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope for the first time. Formally classified as LHS 475 b, the plane...
Webb’s NIRCam Instrument Shows the Beginning of Protostar Evolution.The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the once-hidden features of the protostar within the dark cloud L1527 with ...
This is not an ethereal landscape of time-forgotten tombs. Nor are these soot-tinged fingers reaching out. These pillars, flush with gas and dust, ‘enshroud’ stars that are slowly forming over many mi...
Nowadays, all galaxies and galaxy clusters are thought to be dominated by dark matter — an elusive quantity whose nature astronomers are still working to determine. Abell 611, the glowing galaxy clust...
The 11-Jupiter-mass exoplanet called HD106906 b occupies an unlikely orbit around a double star 336 light-years away and it may be offering clues to something that might be much closer to home: a hypo...
This latest image of Jupiter, taken by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope on 25 August 2020, was captured when the planet was 653 million kilometres from Earth. Hubble’s sharp view is giving research...
New Hubble project provides wide-field view of the galaxy cluster Abell 370The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has started a new mission to shed light on the evolution of the earliest galaxies in the ...
