Astronomers using the Webb Telescope detect a faint smudge that may be the first galaxy, or a nearby impostor, named Capotauro.

A recent study that combines data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) with a detailed analysis published in The Astrophysical Journal provides compelling evidence that the Earth-sized exoplanet ...

James Webb imaged a rare protostar in Sh2-284 firing twin jets, offering new insights into how massive stars form.

As NASA described it, the stellar jet located on the outskirts of the Milky Way resembles Darth Maul’s double-bladed ...

The most exciting yet controversial possibility traces back to a theory proposed by British physicist Stephen Hawking in 1971: that black holes originated from the primordial soup of the Big Bang. If ...
