Scientists using the James Webb took its first ever direct picture of an exoplanet that resulted in its discovery.

Webb Telescope captures TWA 7 b, a Saturn-mass planet 50 AU from its star, proving its ability to directly image smaller exoplanets and paving the way toward Earth-like planet discoveries.

The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared and Mid-Infrared instruments (NIRCam & MIRI) have delivered imagery of interacting galaxies IC 1623, located 270 million light-years from Earth.

While the new study marks the first time the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a new exoplanet through direct imaging, the observatory confirmed an earlier discovery of a potential ...

An international team of researchers has examined 111 JWST images of distant edge-on galaxies, ones where the alignments enabled the researchers to observe the galaxies' vertical disk structures.

Andromeda never looked as good as it does in a new image from the Chandra X-ray observatory and a range of powerful telescopes. A fitting tribute to dark matter pioneer Vera Rubin.

But as scientists continue to research the find, the evidence points to the shape being the James Webb Telescope’s first discovery of a previously unknown planet. The telescope’s ability to photograph ...

These techniques infer a planet’s presence without actually seeing it. The discovery of TWA 7b is different because it was made using direct imaging with the James Webb Space Telescope.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured its first direct image of a previously unknown exoplanet — a planet that orbits outside the solar system.

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first exoplanet, astronomers said Wednesday, capturing rare direct images of the relatively small world in Earth's galactic backyard.

The image captured with JWST’s MIRI instrument overlayed with an image of the disk recorded using ESO’s Very Large Telescope’s SPHERE instrument. A.-M. Lagrange and al.
