The Latest Breaking News from JWST

Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, astrophysicists have spotted what they say is compelling evidence of a new type of cosmic object called a 'dark star.'

Astronomers using JWST have captured the clearest view yet of a doomed red supergiant star just before it exploded, solving a decades-old mystery about why such stars rarely appear to go supernova.

Telescopes have come a long way since the first one was invented in 1608. So what's the most powerful telescope operating today, and how far can it see?

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered dormant galaxies with a wide range of masses in the first billion years after the Big Bang, moving one step closer to understanding how early galaxies grow.

Located billions of light-years away, the "Cosmic Owl" is a pair of colliding ring galaxies spotted by the JWST. It's also an "exceptional natural laboratory" for studying how galaxies evolve.

At the 246th American Astronomical Society meeting in Alaska last month, scientists discussed how Trump's budget cuts could affect operations for the Hubble Space Telescope and JWST.

It's another step on the road to one day discovering what dark matter could be.

The James Webb Space Telescope has notched another milestone, capturing a direct image of one of the coldest and oldest known exoplanets.

Astronomers unveiled the James Webb Space Telescope's largest view yet of the early universe in a richly detailed catalog of nearly 800,000 galaxies.
