'Astonishing': James Webb telescope spots the most chemically primitive galaxy in the ancient universe

'Astonishing': James Webb telescope spots the most chemically primitive galaxy in the ancient universe The James Webb telescope peered into an ancient spot of light, and found it to be the most metal-poor galaxy in the early universe. One of the greatest achievements of the James Webb Space Telescope is how it has allowed scientists to push the boundaries of astronomy by observing galaxies that existed during the early universe, less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang. This period,...

James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass

James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass "We can now undertake a more complete census of how black holes develop over time and infer their role in shaping galaxy evolution." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have "weighed" a sleeping giant — a dormant supermassive black hole located a staggering 10 billion light-years away. That makes this black hole the most distant...

James Webb telescope detects most distant dormant black hole, invisible in all wavelengths and weighing as much as 6 billion suns

James Webb telescope detects most distant dormant black hole, invisible in all wavelengths and weighing as much as 6 billion suns JWST found a black hole hiding in a galaxy more than 10 billion light-years away from Earth, and used a cosmic magnifying glass to determine its mass. The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the most distant, dormant black hole in the known universe , hiding in a galaxy more than 10 billion light-years from Earth. The newly analyzed black hole, located in a...

James Webb telescope discovers 'naked' black hole that somehow formed before its own galaxy

The galaxy cluster Abell 2744, imaged here by the James Webb Space Telescope, magnifies the light of some of the most distant galaxies and black holes in the known universe. New research uncovers the secrets of one such black hole.

NASA’s Webb telescope discovers a planet where rock clouds vanish every night

A giant planet nearly 700 light-years away has a bizarre daily weather cycle where mineral clouds appear every morning and vanish by nightfall. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered that WASP-94A b’s mornings are filled with clouds made of rock-like minerals, while its evenings are surprisingly clear. The finding gave scientists their clearest look yet into the planet’s atmosphere and revealed it’s far more Jupiter-like than previously believed.

A cosmic case of mistaken identity that can only be solved right now

I’m certain scientists before me have thought this about their own era, but nonetheless, I think we are living in a wildly exciting time for galaxy research. Though US and UK research budgets might be doing the opposite, our understanding of the universe is rapidly expanding. In just the few years since its launch on Christmas 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope (what I prefer to call the Just Wonderful Space Telescope, or JWST) has transformed our understanding of what galaxies looked like...

NASA's Webb detects methane and strange chemistry on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS

NASA's Webb detects methane and strange chemistry on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS - Date: - June 4, 2026 - Source: - NASA - Summary: - NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered unusual chemistry in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, including the first direct detection of methane on a visitor from another star system. The comet also contains exceptionally high levels of carbon dioxide, making it unlike most comets born in our solar system. Scientists believe the methane was hidden beneath the...
