James Webb Space Telescope

Astronomers using JWST have captured the clearest view yet of a doomed red supergiant star just before it exploded, solving a decades-old mystery about why such stars rarely appear to go supernova.

JWST's detection of phosphine on a brown dwarf, also known as a "failed star," could have repercussions for the claimed detection of the molecule on Venus.

Astronomers using JWST have captured the sharpest infrared view yet of the supermassive black hole jet in M87, offering new insights into its structure and physics.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have delivered the first detailed weather report of a nearby rogue world, and it's stormier than expected.

The JWST has studied the chemical composition of a moon-forming disk circling a giant planet 625 light-years away.

The star-forming region called Sagittarius B2 contains half of the galactic center's stars, yet only 10% of the gas.

New JWST observations show Saturn's auroras dotted with dark beads and a star pattern missing two arms, puzzling astronomers.

The James Webb Space Telescope caught the birth of an enormous star with particle beams cutting across a stretch of interstellar space.

"Webb was the key that made it happen."

"The results provide a rare, detailed look at how planet-forming chemistry operates in the extreme environments around brown dwarfs, potentially offering clues to the diversity of worlds beyond our solar system."
