Using two of the world’s most powerful space observatories, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and ALMA (Atacama…
The universe holds endless mysteries, and today’s most powerful telescopes are helping us explore them like never before. These advanced instruments drive the progress of modern astronomy, using radio, infrared, optical, and X-ray wavelengths to capture light from ancient galaxies, black holes, exoplanets, and other distant objects. Built in extreme environments and equipped with modern…
Webb Telescope captures images of exoplanet Images of newly discovered exoplanet captured by James Webb Telescope 00:25 NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured evidence of a planet beyond the solar system for the first time since its launch in 2021. The exoplanet, a planet beyond our solar system, has been dubbed TWA 7b and…
The James Webb Space Telescope has officially discovered its first new planet after three years of supporting astronomers in studying known exoplanets. This young world is a groundbreaking discovery designated TWA 7b because it is the lowest-mass planet ever directly imaged outside the solar system. With an estimated mass of just 0.3 times that of…
NASA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered something incredible. A far-off planetary system with gas giants that are packed with coarse silica, which is a space sand. The YSES-1 system, which surrounds a young star 300 light-years from Earth, consists of two planets, YSES-1 b and YSES-1 c, both of which have atmospheric sand…
Asteroid 2024 YR4:NASA James Webb Space Telescope recent observations reveal the potential that asteroid 2024 YR4 could be a small yet growing risk of collision, despite being no threat to the Moon. The new data reveals the potential danger to the lunar surface, prompting increased scientific interest in the asteroid’s trajectory. The Moon remains under…
Astronomers say they have discovered a massive planet orbiting a tiny star, a bizarre pairing that has stumped scientists (Image credit: X/AFP) Astronomers on Wednesday have discovered a huge planet orbiting a tiny star. This bizarre pairing has left the scientists puzzled. The small star is called TOI-6894. Most stars in the Milky Way galaxy…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has once again made history by discovering the most distant and ancient galaxy ever observed, named MoM z14. Located just 280 million years after the Big Bang, this galaxy pushes the boundaries of cosmic observation. The finding highlights JWST’s exceptional ability to peer into the early universe, offering unprecedented…
