This week, the world watched as the first science images from the JWST were unveiled. Here’s what it means for astronomy.
Beautifully captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), this image shows interstellar gas and dust lit up by a dead star in Cassiopeia. Astronomy Space photo of the week: James Webb telescope shocks scientists with image of ancient galaxy roaring back to life By Jamie Carter published...
Pillars of Creation taken by the JWST. (NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI / NASA) The revelations came when scientists delved deeper into one of the first images from Webb, the Cosmic Cliffs. NASA shared the photos with the world in July of the star formation NGC 3324 in the Carina Nebula, which...

“The science results are going to be rolling out from here on in,” Dr. Rigby said. “科学成果将从现在开始纷至沓来,”里格比说。 We’ll see deeper into the universe’s past than ever. 我们将比以往更深入地了解宇宙的过去。 President Bidenon Monday introduced an image made by the Webb te...
Image of Uranus from the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.(NASA) Early in the year, JWST helped shine a new light onUranus' rings and its 27moons. JWST images in infrared light captured 11 of the iceworld's13 faint, dusty rings. NASA said the right...
When I give a public talk about space and show off the latest dazzling images from the Hubble Space Telescope or James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), one of the most common questions I get is, “Is that what these objects really look like?” What that usually means is: If you were witne...
Webb. STScI’s imaging specialists start by running an advanced search in MAST. They add the target’s name or the object’s coordinates on the sky (known formally as right ascension and declination), along with the mission (JWST in this case). Like any other search, MAST returns the ...
We examine images of the protoplanetary disk 114–426 with JWST/NIRCam in 12 bands. This large disk is oriented edge on with a dark midplane flanked by lobes of scattered light. The outer edges of the midplane are seen in silhouette against the Orion Nebula, providing a unique opportunity...
