The Latest Breaking News from JWST

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered brown dwarfs at the heart of planet-forming disks in the Orion nebula. The discovery could help reveal if these "failed stars" can have planets.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have potentially discovered the first brown dwarfs beyond the borders of the Milky Way galaxy.

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered lonely quasars in the early universe, with "empty larders" that defy theories surrounding their growth to monster sizes.

An exclusive interview with "Infinite Cosmos'" astrophysicist author Ethan Siegel.

The inside-out growth of this ancient galaxy could teach us something about the history of our own Milky Way and how it compares to the rest of the universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest and most powerful space telescope built to date. Since it was launched in December 2021 it has provided groundbreaking insights. These include discovering the earliest and most distant known galaxies, which existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang.

Beyond our solar system, countless alien worlds of lava, ice, water and noxious gas swirl through the cosmos. Here are some of the strangest exoplanets that scientists have discovered so far.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope astronomers have found that a strange inflated exoplanet is even weirder than they realized finding a strange asymmetry in its atmosphere.

The Hubble tension, a longstanding problem in cosmology, could potentially be relieved if early dark energy is taken into account.

The James Webb Space Telescope has imaged a collision between two galaxies that appears to have created a beaming smile in space.
