Hubble’s 1990 launch was followed by that of Compton (1991), which observed gamma rays, Chandra (1999), which studies X-rays, and Spitzer (2003), the infrared telescope. Compton fell to Earth in ...

Astronomers may have uncovered a hidden population of galaxies that could rewrite what we know about the universe's evolution ...

A fog of long-wavelength infrared light could be produced by dusty, star-forming galaxies that have remained hidden — until now, that is.

The Webb Space Telescope has captured a plume of gas and dust streaming from a star in the making, with a spiral galaxy as a stunning backdrop. The composite image makes it look as though the overflow ...

Astronomers have peered back in time to find what looks like a population of "hidden" galaxies that could hold the key to ...

Webb's penetrating infrared gaze has now revealed the true identity of the glow as a face-on, distant spiral galaxy. It has a ...

Since the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began science operations, astronomers have observed galaxies that existed more ...

A powerful “Cosmic Tornado” has received a high-definition glow-up thanks to NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The new look at Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) released today also answers a ...

The colors in the image represent wavelengths of infrared light ... Haro 49/50 was first discovered by NASA's now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope in 2006, and nicknamed the "cosmic tornado ...

Webb observed the scene in the infrared. NASA said in a statement it was “a lucky alignment” of the two unrelated objects. NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope captured the same shot in ...
