There is now little doubt that JWST will deliver on its promise to transform astronomy — and, more specifically, exoplanet science — in the next decade. Nature 614, 632-633 (2023) ...

Through bigger hardware, of course, the view is way better. Astronomers recently aimed the mighty James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) at the Crab in hopes of better understanding the nebula's structure.

Thanks to the James Webb telescope, we can now see the nebula with more clarity. As one expert says, "We always knew planetary nebulae were pretty. What we see now is spectacular." ...

The James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) new image of the Cartwheel Galaxy, located 500 million light-years away in the Sculptor Constellation, is the perfect example of a formation in motion.

Stars are being born in a stellar new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The telescope imaged the 1,630-light-year-wide nebula N79.It is located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC ...

JWST’s first directly imaged planet and first direct spectrum of a planet-sized object are both huge steps forward for direct imaging, the underdog of exoplanet detection, showing its promise.

Recent announcements from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team have shown galaxies in the very early universe are far more advanced, mature, and evolved than they ought to be. But that might ...

Last week, astronomers unveiled exciting new images of planets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani star systems — and it was all thanks to a creative use of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST ...
