A team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found previously unseen structures and activity in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere. The region observed in the study using the Webb Telescope is located right above the Great Red Spot. According to NASA, the Great Red Spot is the largest storm in the solar system, twice as …
An international team of astronomers first spotted the galaxy called JADES-GS-z14-0 (File) Washington: The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy, a remarkably bright star system that existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said Thursday. Since coming online in …
The James Webb Space Telescope has for the first time mapped the weather on a planet where daytime temperature soars up to 1,250 degrees Celcius and falls to 600 degrees Celcius during night. Astronomers used the world’s most powerful observatory to find the presence of thick, high clouds covering the nightside, clear skies on the …
From tiny single-celled algae to the giant sequoias, green is the colour that we most associate with life on Earth. But a new study published on Wednesday suggests that in the search for extraterrestrial life, we should probably look for the colour purple instead of green. The reason so many plants and life forms are …
Reshaping our understanding of extraterrestrial chemistry, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unearthed a cosmic cocktail of ingredients essential for life’s formation. Recent observations unveiled a surprising array of icy compounds surrounding young protostars IRAS 2A and IRAS 23385, including familiar substances like ethanol, and possibly acetic acid. This revelation, made possible by Webb’s Mid-Infrared …
News Technology Science Webb spots high concentration of massive, hot stars nearby Peeking into stellar nurseries: Webb Telescope unveils secrets of massive young stars. This image from the James Webb Space Telescope shows NGC 604, a star-forming region in the nearby Triangulum Galaxy. The red tendrils and bubbles are sculpted by stellar winds from massive …
In an intriguing study, astronomers have used the all-powerful James Webb Space Telescope to find out what may have brought the end to the dark times of space and how. The universe has not been this bright since its inception and it experienced the ‘Dark Ages’ when thick gases would cloud rays of light emanating from …
Scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to discover evidence for the first time of a neutron star at the site of a young supernova remnmant. The supernova SN 1987A is a core-collapse supernova which means that the remains at its core will form either a neutron star or a black hole. Astronomers have been …
The James Webb Space Telescope took this stunning image of a star-forming nebula called N79, which is a region of ionised interstellar atomic hydrogen. The nebula is in the H II region of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, and was captured by Webb’s Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). N79 is simply …
New Delhi,UPDATED: Jan 24, 2024 11:17 IST The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a massive region in space with new suns being born in a massive cluster. The star-forming complex known as N79, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This nebula, …
