To mark its third year of highly productive science, astronomers used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to scratch ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first exoplanet, TWA 7b, which is also the lightest exoplanet ever to be directly imaged.
RIT researchers will be co-investigators on nine of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Cycle 4 programs set to begin in early July.
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 ...
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 leading JWST image clearly shows the galactic outflow winds from the galaxy's center. They're driven by the abundant formation of massive stars, and by supernova explosions.
12 years of W.M. Keck Observatory imagery of star system HR 8799 have been time-lapsed. The system hosts four planets that are more massive than Jupiter. Video making & motion interpolation: Jason ...
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.
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.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope detection of TWA 7b represents a major milestone: the lightest exoplanet discovered with a direct image.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a direct image of a previously unknown exoplanet. This discovery was the direct result of research led by a scientist at the Centre National de ...
Quantum computing just got a significant boost thanks to researchers at the University of Osaka, who developed a much more efficient way to create "magic states" a key component for ...
