Collaborate Disseminate
It feels like every time astronomers get a handle on a cosmic phenomenon, a new one pops up that sends them back to the drawing board. Case in point – Hubble has spotted a strange burst of light in a region of space where there didn’t seem to be a trig… Continue reading Mysterious explosion from empty region of space puzzles astronomers
The unprecedented power of the James Webb Space Telescope allows it to look farther back in space and time than ever before – and in doing so, it’s revealed puzzling galaxies that seem to be too advanced for their age. Now astronomers have proposed a n… Continue reading “Starburst” galaxies could solve cosmic dawn mystery raised by Webb
Hiding within new images of a nebula captured by the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have made a puzzling discovery – dozens of Jupiter-sized objects that defy explanation.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: Planet, Jupiter, James Web… Continue reading James Webb spots dozens of unexplained “JUMBO” objects in Orion nebula

The best places in our solar system to search for life beyond Earth aren’t planets like Mars – they’re icy moons like Europa. The case for life on this watery world just got stronger, as the James Webb Space Telescope has detected a fresh carbon source… Continue reading James Webb spots carbon on Europa, boosting case for life
The James Webb Space Telescope has achieved one of the first major science goals announced for it way back in 2017. The infrared instrument has now probed the atmosphere around one of the TRAPPIST-1 exoplanets.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTa… Continue reading James Webb analyzes atmosphere of first TRAPPIST planet
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has snapped the most detailed color portrait of the most distant star ever detected. Named Earendel, the massive B-type star located in the constellation of Cetus is 12.9 billion light years from Earth and is within a … Continue reading James Webb snaps best image yet of most distant star in the universe
Most of what humankind and other mammalian species on Earth experience of the Universe is primarily restricted to the part of the electromagnetic spectrum which our optical organs can register. …read more Continue reading ESA’s Euclid Space Telescope and the Quest For Dark Energy
The James Webb Space Telescope has already spotted some amazing things in its first year of science operations, but if a new study holds water it might be one of the most important finds of all time. A team of astrophysicists proposes that three bright… Continue reading Webb may have spotted “dark stars” made of annihilating dark matter
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted complex organic molecules, which usually form in smoke and smog, in the very distant universe. With help from a galactic gravitational anomaly, the telescope could see the molecules from more than 12 billion l… Continue reading Webb spots galactic smoke signals from across the universe
