The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has a thick irradiated crust that no longer resembles its home star system, simulations and ...

New observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have uncovered five complex organic molecules trapped in the ice around ...

James Webb Space Telescope observations show interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has a 50-65 foot irradiated crust formed by billions of years of cosmic ray exposure. Research posted to arXiv indicates the co ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how galaxies formed in the early universe.

Astronomers used the James Webb Telescope to detect complex carbon molecules frozen around a young star, ST6, beyond our ...

What you're looking at here is the aftermath of a sun-like star that eventually reached the end of its life and poofed out ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected complex organic molecules, the building blocks of life, in ice around a young ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has looked back into deep time to find “rubies” or “little red dots” stretched across the ...

Astronomers have traced the 12-billion-year journey of interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, believed to be the oldest comet ever ...

In March 2024, the researchers pointed the JWST at a developing star, dubbed ST6, in the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Three weeks after the “blue-light anomaly,” the absence of data has turned 3I/ATLAS from a scientific curiosity into a test of institutional trust.

JWST observations show that early galaxies were chaotic, gas-filled systems rather than stable disks. Researchers from ...
