"The goal of this project was to explore the fundamental low-mass limit of the star and brown dwarf formation process." ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has achieved groundbreaking discoveries in the field of exoplanet studies.
For years, astronomers have sought a way to directly observe the atmospheres of exoplanets, worlds orbiting distant stars.
"We have been waiting for 10 years to confirm that our finely tuned operations of the telescope would also allow us to access ...
The JWST has spotted the presence of carbon dioxide on HR 8799’s four known planets, part of a system astronomers use to ...
NASA’s James Webb Telescope captured direct images of gas giants in HR 8799, revealing their carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres.
The discovery is keeping astronomers on their toes about how planets are formed.
Trained on the spectacular Flame Nebula, the Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes went hunting for the smallest stars in ...
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 ...
I go to pieces... The JWST hunted for free-floating planetary mass bodies that have masses of at least around half that of Jupiter. This was set by a process called "fragmentation" that sees large ...
