The James Webb Space Telescope has officially discovered its first new planet after three years of supporting astronomers in studying known exoplanets. This young world is a groundbreaking discovery designated TWA 7b because it is the lowest-mass planet ever directly imaged outside the solar system. With an estimated mass of just 0.3 times that of…
A latest discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has reignited one of the most astonishing theories in modern physics: the possibility that our entire universe exists inside a giant black hole. After closely analysing hundreds of ancient galaxies, researchers observed something deeply puzzling. A majority of them appear to spin in the same direction,…
In an awe-inspiring moment for space exploration, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has snapped a breathtaking photo featuring thousands of galaxies in one picture. The incredible landscape is a part of the COSMOS-Webb survey. It is one of the biggest surveys ever carried out by the telescope. The picture is a profound and dimensional…
NASA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered something incredible. A far-off planetary system with gas giants that are packed with coarse silica, which is a space sand. The YSES-1 system, which surrounds a young star 300 light-years from Earth, consists of two planets, YSES-1 b and YSES-1 c, both of which have atmospheric sand…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has once again made history by discovering the most distant and ancient galaxy ever observed, named MoM z14. Located just 280 million years after the Big Bang, this galaxy pushes the boundaries of cosmic observation. The finding highlights JWST’s exceptional ability to peer into the early universe, offering unprecedented…
In May, the Hubble telescope released a picture of a different galaxy, known as HerS 020941.1+001557, as it appeared 11 billion years ago. Along with SDSS J020941.27+001558.4 and SDSS J020941.27+001558.4, it forms a partial ring captured through gravitational lens, also known as the Einstein Ring. Source link
Galaxy cluster Abell S1063 (Nasa) As part of the ‘picture of the month’ series, Nasa has revealed a new image taken by the James Webb telescope that gives a look into the distant past. This picture of the galaxy cluster Abell S1063 is a gigantic collection of galaxies lying 4.5 billion light years from Earth…
In a historic finding, scientists employing NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have made the first definitive detection of crystalline ice water in a distant young star system. While ice water is widespread in our solar system, this is the first time that frozen water has been detected outside of it. The discovery gives important…
Staring up at the starry night sky is normally a source of awe, but scientific investigation can turn such a sense of wonder into discovery. In an unprecedented breakthrough, scientists have watched clouds developing in the northern hemisphere of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, for the first time ever. This landmark sighting, facilitated by the James…
NASA is inviting people of all ages to participate in an exciting citizen science project through Galaxy Zoo, where volunteers help classify thousands of galaxy images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. With over 500,000 galaxy images now available, scientists need assistance to analyse and understand how galaxies have evolved over billions of years….
