Astronomers using Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope believe they have spotted a giant planet orbiting a series of stars a little more than four light-years away. The system, known as Alpha ...

Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found strong evidence for a new exoplanet — one orbiting Alpha Centauri A, the nearest sun-like star to Earth.

It’s the first object since Apophis to climb to a 3 on the Torino Scale, and the first ever tracked with the James Webb Space Telescope, which improved impact projections by nearly 20 percent.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have made the shock discovery that giant rogue exoplanets can grow their own planetary systems without needing a parent star.

On March 26, 2025, NASAâs James Webb Space Telescope captured images of asteroid 2024 YR4 that indicate the asteroid is about the size of a 15-story building. NASA “Given the very large total ...

Observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and other telescopes have shown what appears to be a supermassive black hole forming right between two merging galaxies. There have been ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers hunted supermassive black holes devouring stars in dusty galaxies — but laying in wait for their stellar victims.

Webb has been orbiting more than a million miles from Earth, capturing breathtaking images of deep space. But how does it actually work?

The James Webb Space Telescope, one of the most powerful and sophisticated telescopes ever built, is now revealing the mysteries of the universe like never before. More advanced than its ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a "figure-eight" galaxy with a possible newborn supermassive black hole (SMBH). This SMBH may have formed quickly from a colliding gas cloud, unlike the ...

Astronomers have, for the first time, observed the very beginning of planet formation around a star beyond our Solar System. Using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA, researchers detected hot ...
