Infrared image of the center of the Orion Nebula taken with the NIRCam instrument on NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The insets show expanded images of two faint proplyds from the Hubble Space ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently captured stunning images of a structure called the Orion Bar in the Orion Nebula. The large view on the left of the collage was taken using JWST’s ...

Many newly formed stars are surrounded by what are called protoplanetary disks, swirling masses of warm dust and gas that can constitute the core of a developing solar system. Proof of the existence ...

In addition to the JWST’s incredible imaging sensors, it is also equipped with a spectrograph which allows it to measure the chemical composition of distant objects. Spectrographs work by looking for ...

The Orion Nebula, a portion of which is pictured here, is home to a red dwarf star known as d203-506. Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect a carbon molecule known as methyl cation ...

Scientists have performed a micro-probe analysis of the core and outer layers of a pea-sized piece of a meteorite some 4.57 billion years old to reconstruct the history of its formation, providing the ...

A group of extremely bright stars may be slowly reshaping the Orion Nebula and stopping one of their neighbors from forming planets, new James Webb Space Telescope observations suggest. When you ...

Jupiter was once as much as 2.5 larger than today. To better understand Jupiter’s primordial stages, researchers turned to the tiniest of the planet’s 92 known moons. Almathea and Thebe respectively ...
