A newfound object uncovered in the early universe by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is challenging long-held ideas about how galaxies form. Dubbed the “Big Wheel,” it’s a galaxy ...

The potential discovery of life elsewhere is down to the unprecedented sensitivity of Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope.

Light from this new record-breaking galaxy, designated RUBIES-UDS-QG-z7, has been traveling to us for 13 billion years, meaning the JWST saw it as it was just 700 million years after the Big Bang ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has observed a planetary nebula designated Messier 57 (also known as NGC 6720), dubbed the Ring Nebula.

using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The galaxy lies 11.7 billion light-years away from our corner of the cosmos, and its given nickname comes from its remarkably fast rotation and huge size.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have found the most distant (and thus the earliest) massive "dead" galaxy to date. The discovery suggests that galaxies were "dying" much ...
