James Webb Space Telescope

What are the enormous 'universe breaker' galaxies discovered by NASA's James Webb telescope?

Astronomers discovered six massive galaxies that existed between 500 million and 700 million years after the big bang that formed the universe. The revelation is fundamentally upending accepted views regarding the creation of galaxies

WATCH: Huge portion of the Sun breaks off from the surface, swirls around its North Pole

Researchers at NASA were baffled when they saw a piece of the Sun, breaking off from its surface and creating a vortex around its North Pole. Scientists are still trying to understand what impact this event will have on Earth, and when.

China continues to expand space programme, unveils plan to launch the largest optical telescope in Asia

Because of NASA's policies, China was isolated from a number of global space collaborations. As a result, China is boosting the Chinese Space Programme massively. After launching the Tiangong Space Station last year, China now plans on launching their own Very Large Telescope.

James Webb Space Telescope captures Jupiter like never before

Jupiter’s images are some of the most iconic space images that nearly everyone has seen. New images from the JWS telescope show the planet with new details.

James Webb Space Telescope may have found a galaxy that existed 13.5 billion years ago

The galaxy is known as GLASS-z13, which dates back to 300 million years after the Big Bang, about 100 million years earlier than anything previously identified

NASA's James Webb telescope detects water on distant planet

While the Hubble Space Telescope has analysed numerous exoplanet atmospheres over the past two decades, capturing the first clear detection of water in 2013, Webb's more detailed observation marks a giant leap forward in the quest to characterise potentially habitable planets beyond Earth

NASA releases next wave of images from James Webb Space Telescope

One new image on Tuesday shows water vapour in the atmosphere of a faraway gas planet. The spectroscopy -- an analysis of light that reveals detailed information -- was of planet WASP-96 b, which was discovered in 2014

Explained: The James Webb telescope that brought us an image of how the universe looked 13 billion years ago

The James Webb telescope, built at a cost of $10 billion, has seen many delays before it was launched in December 2021. Reported to be the most powerful telescope, it looks to reshape our understanding of the dawn of the universe

NASA's giant James Webb telescope spots its first star, takes a 'selfie'

The image capturing process began on February 2, with Webb pointing at different positions around the predicted location of the star

James Webb telescope reaches final destination, a million miles from Earth

Webb will begin its work by summer, which includes using its high resolution infrared instruments to peer back in time 13.5 billion years to the first generation of galaxies that formed after the Big Bang
