The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has double-checked the Hubble Space Telescope's calculations of the expanding universe, finding its older sibling telescope was spot on the money. This possibly intensifies an existing headache for cosmologists called the "Hubble tension." The Hubble Tension ari...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed a planet, WASP-107b. The planet, which orbits a K-type star in under six days, has already caught the attention of astronomers and been considered an odd thing, for its size is about 1,316 times larger than that of Earth but its mass ...
NASA'S James Webb Space Telescope observed a planet outside of our solar system that might be able to support life. Webb discovered the presence of methane and carbon dioxide on the exoplanet K2-18 b, which is 8.6 times the size of Earth. This indicates K2-18 b could be a Hycean exo...
After blasting into space, the James Webb Space Telescope will "begin the most complex sequence of deployments ever attempted in a single space mission," explained NASA. A detailed animation, produced by NASA and the aerospace company Northrop Grumman, s
At this point, NASA's James Webb Telescope, which is revolutionising the way we view the universe, is just blowing minds. Over 45,000 galaxies are seen in one frame in a photograph that was taken by the most powerful telescope.
The James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's newest way to peer deep into the universe and track distant stars and potential locations for life, is another step closer to launch, having aced the latest test of one of its most important components. Expected to launch next year, the new telescope ...
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail. Thousands of galaxies – incl(NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI) ...
