The James Webb Space Telescope has achieved a historic milestone by capturing the first direct image of an exoplanet.

THE James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first-ever exoplanet – a distant world hidden by the glare of its nearest ...

NASA has upped the odds of a 200ft “city killer” asteroid smashing into the Moon in 2032. Asteroid 2024 YR4 was once feared to be on a collision course with Earth, with the chance ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has taken another look at the potential "city-killer" asteroid 2024 YR4 and found its chances of hitting the moon in December 2032 have increased to 4.3%.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most radiation-intense star-forming regions, revealing that Earth-like planets can form even ...

In two related firsts, the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered sand-filled rains on a distant exoplanet as its "sandcastle" partner world forms from sandy matter before the eyes of astronomers.

New near-infrared observations by the James Webb Space Telescope highlight a tightly packed group of stars at the peculiar galaxy's center as well as dust on its outer fringes.

Reaching nanometer precision in space isn’t just hard—it’s nearly impossible. But JWST’s flexure-driven actuators do it while surviving cryogenic temps, vacuum, and launch forces.

Now, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a Tufts astronomer and her colleagues have found that the ice-covered dust in a far-away galaxy is much like dust that is closer to us. Knowing ...

An international team of scientists has unveiled the largest and most detailed map of the universe ever created using the James Webb Space Telescope, revealing nearly 800,000 galaxies stretching ...
