The Latest Breaking News from JWST

The largest map of the universe, created with data from the James Webb Space Telescope, shows almost 800,000 galaxies crammed into a tiny piece of sky and spanning almost all of time.

By combining data from the Subaru Telescope and James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have discovered distant quasars that are obscured by dust but which may shed light on Little Red Dots.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have found an extremely ancient galaxy piercing through a thick blanket of cosmic fog in the distant universe.

A study suggesting the exoplanet K2-18b shows potential signs of alien life has been met with skepticism from the scientific community. Here’s the truth about what the James Webb Space Telescope saw.

On Thursday, April 24, 2025, the Hubble Space Telescope will celebrate 35 years in space. Can it still hold its own and prove useful when compared to instruments like the James Webb Space Telescope?

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered "smoking gun" evidence of a hidden feeding supermassive black hole in a distant spiral galaxy.

Researchers say claims of promising hints of life off Earth indicate enthusiasm is ‘outpacing evidence’

A team of astronomers announced on April 16, 2025, that in the process of studying a planet around another star, they had found evidence for an unexpected atmospheric gas. On Earth, that gas – called dimethyl sulfide – is mostly produced by living organisms.

Scientists have found further evidence of possible biosignature gases on the planet K2-18b, strengthening its case as an abode for alien life. But the case is far from closed.
