Fifteen years after Western astronomers first discovered "buckyballs" in space (soccer ball-shaped molecules that resemble a hollow sphere), they're back with stunning images and rich data generated using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—the most powerful space telescope ever built.

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory have captured the clearest image yet of a galaxy cluster in the making, seen when the universe was only one billion years old. A team of researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope has produced the most detailed map of dark matter to date.

Imagine an enormous telescope with a sun shield the size of a tennis court that sends back proof of a lemon-shaped exoplanet raining diamonds. Then, picture a flying object that can hurtle toward the sun at 430,

According to scientists, red supergiant stars should produce more supernovas. But astronomers just aren’t spotting them. Here's how they plan to crack the case.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have investigated the star-forming region W51, resulting in stunning new images.

Webb finds a massive planet, 29 Cygni b, orbiting a nearby star, offering new clues about how even the largest planets grow over time.

The launch of NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in 2021 pushed the horizon of seeing the early universe, unveiling cosmic events just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. Among the most striking discoveries are supermassive black holes—some reaching 100 million times the mass of our sun.
