A stunning new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is allowing astronomers to examine the complex and turbulent final stages of a dying star's life.

The stars are surrounded by diffraction spikes, which are the starburst-like radiating lines that appear around bright objects on telescope images. The stars follow a nine-year orbit and are ...

The Webb telescope — a scientific collaboration between NASA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency — is designed to peer into the deepest cosmos and reveal new insights about the early universe. It's ...

In 2009, NASA launched the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, or WISE mission, to make infrared observations. This was the latest in a line of space-based, infrared observatories, and it cost about ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured imagery of spiral galaxy NGC 7469, which is 90,000 light-years in diameter. The galaxy is "roughly 220 million light-years from Earth in the constellation ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a giant galaxy that shouldn't exist. Using this exceptionally powerful telescope, a team of researchers were able to peer back in time and observe this ...

The planet "splashed down" into the star, sending a giant plume of gas into space that gave the star a ring. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been studying the scene of a dramatic ...
