The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) had been billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule before it was launched on 25 December 2021. It was a key part of an international mission to launch this huge telescope a million miles from Earth. Scientists said the telescope would be...
a spiral galaxy 12.4 billion years old, about a billion years earlier than the time thought possible to form this type of complex galaxy, according to the Big Bang theory. “We have discovered ‘mammoths’ in the Universe at a time when it seemed like they shouldn't exist. Now we need ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), fondly referred to as a ‘First Light Machine,’ is designed to look across the farthest reaches of the cosmos to the beginning of time itself, to observe the first stars and galaxies that coalesced from the primordial gas of the Big Bang. JWST is ...
Why? Because its goal is to examine all of the phases of our cosmic history, including the big bang. But there are four distinct objectives for the Webb Telescope during its mission, and they're grouped intofour themes: The End of the Dark Ages: First Light and Reionization: Webb will ...
NASA's new telescope faces nail-biting journey Years behind schedule and billions over budget, the James Webb Space Telescope — 100 times more powerful than the iconicHubble— is finally poised for launch on a make-or-break mission to peer all the way back to nearly the Big Bang that crea...
But Hubble’s result was slightly different from what astrophysicists had derived from the cosmic microwave background, the electromagnetic radiation that permeates the Universe, left over almost from the time of the Big Bang. The new James Webb Telescope has a much larger mirror, making...
The astronomers usedNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer back in time, more than 13 billion years, to study the cosmic surroundings of five known ancient quasars. They found a surprising variety in their neighborhoods, or “quasar fields.” While some quasars reside in very cro...
Scientists claim to find 'first observational evidence supporting string theory,' which could finally reveal the nature of dark energy 'We had less than a 2% chance to find this': James Webb telescope uncovers baffling 'Big Wheel', one of the most massive galaxies in the early...

The Webb telescope will look at every phase of cosmic history, including the first glows after the big bang that created our universe and the formation of the galaxies, stars and planets that fill it today. Its capabilities will enable the observatory to answer questions about our own solar sy...
