Recent observations by the James Webb Space Telescope have shed light on the enigmatic super-Earth 55 Cancri e, revealing its likely atmosphere composed of gases like carbon monoxide or dioxide. This ...
"This is profoundly different from the composition we see in disks around solar-type stars." Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the richest "menu" of hydrocarbons ...
Exoplanets are common in our galaxy, and some even orbit in the so-called habitable zone of their star. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been busy observing a few of these small, potentially ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the richest "menu" of hydrocarbons ever seen in a planet-forming disk. This observation, which involved the protoplanetary disk around ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has smashed its own record for detecting the most distant known galaxy. Called JADES-GS-z14-0, the collection of stars was spied as it was a mere 290 million years ...
This handout image, obtained on May 30, 2024, courtesy of NASA/ESA/CSA STScI, shows an infrared image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. One galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0 (shown in the pullout ...
An international team of astronomers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study the disk of gas and dust around a young, very low-mass star. The results reveal the largest number of ...
