SN H0pe is a particularly important standard candle because it is the second most distant type 1a supernova ever detected, Siegel wrote. The strong gravitational lensing and duplication in the new images also give researchers more information to work with than normal, he added.

This time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spotted a supermassive black hole inside one of the earliest known galaxies in the universe – which makes it the oldest we’ve ever seen. Artist’s Impression The hole is around nine million times the ...

Jupiter-sized "planets" free-floating in space, unconnected to any star, have been spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). What's intriguing about the discovery is that these objects appear to be moving in pairs. Astronomers are currently struggling to explain them.

New images from the James Webb Space Telescope, taken over the course of a week, show the Orion Nebula in its clearest detail yet, and scientists say they're surprised with the observations its made. The telescope discovered about 40 pairs of objects ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken a stunning image of a perfectly formed Einstein ring, which is also the most distant gravitationally lensed object ever detected.

However, space scientists now have a cutting-edge tool: the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Because of its powerful infrared observational capabilities to peek into the distant past, the telescope is projected to play a critical role in solving the mystery of early galaxies.

Scientists have theorized how galaxies evolve, but details in their early phase of formation remained shrouded in celestial clouds of mystery.

Astrophysicists from Northwestern University in Illinois have discovered that the universe's youngest galaxies, captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), are not as vast as their brightness suggests.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has pierced the vacuum of deep space again, and unlocked another spectacular discovery beyond the pale. Astronomers aiming the telescope into the famous Orion Nebula found what look like pairs of huge planets that defy the laws of physics.
