The Latest Breaking News from JWST

The James Webb Space Telescope has found perhaps its most profound discovery to date. The uncovered preferred direction for galaxies supports the idea that the universe was born in a black hole.

NASA's newly-launched SPHEREx space telescope will offer a complementary 'panoramic' view to the JWST's high resolution infrared snapshots, enabling astronomers to study some of the universe's biggest mysteries.

Like its mythological namesake, the Phoenix Cluster burns with blisteringly hot gas, which cools to birth stars. The James Webb Space Telescope has now learned how this galaxy cluster does it.

In a rare "time-critical" decision, the James Webb Space Telescope will study the true size of the "potentially hazardous" asteroid 2024 YR4 twice over the next few months. The asteroid has a roughly 2.3% chance of impacting Earth in 2032.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a belching protostar in its infancy. By studying the dust grains whirling around it, astronomers hope to better understand how solar systems like our own take shape.

The James Webb Space Telescope's new image spotlights dust grains in a distant protoplanetary disk, allowing astronomers to study how planets are formed in intricate detail.

Observations from the James Webb Space Telescope reveal monster black holes in the early universe that seem to have grown too big, too fast. New research points to a strange form of dark matter as a possible culprit.

"Little red dot" galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early cosmos appear to be ruled by supermassive black holes that are 1,000 times too massive.

A new study on cosmic objects from early in the history of the universe were thought to be massive galaxies
