Under what conditions many chemical elements are created in the universe has long been shrouded in mystery. This includes elements that are highly valuable, or even vital to life as we know it. Astron...
21 August 2023The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has observed the well-known Ring Nebula with unprecedented detail. Formed by a star throwing off its outer layers as it runs out of fuel, the ...
For the first time, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has observed the chemical signature of carbon-rich dust grains at redshift ~ 7 , which is roughly equivalent to one billion years after ...
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have come up with what they say is some of their best evidence yet for the presence of a rare class of intermediate-sized black holes, having foun...
An international team of researchers has used the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope to measure the temperature of the rocky exoplanet TRAPPIST-1 b. The measurement is based on the planet’s thermal em...
Hubble monitors changing weather and seasons on Jupiter and Uranus23 March 2023Ever since its launch in 1990, the #nasaesahubblespacetelescope has been an interplanetary weather observer, keeping an e...
Researchers observing with the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have pinpointed silicate cloud features in a distant planet’s atmosphere. The atmosphere is constantly rising, mixing, and moving...
A Wolf-Rayet star is a rare prelude to the famous final act of a massive star: the supernova. As one of its first observations in 2022, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope captured the Wolf-Ra...
The #nasaesahubblespacetelescope captured a series of photos of rapid changes to the asteroid Dimorphos when it was deliberately hit by a 545-kilogram spacecraft on 26 September 2022. The primary obje...
Researchers using the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope are getting their first look at star formation, gas, and dust in nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths. The dat...
A previously unknown 100–200-metre asteroid — roughly the size of Rome’s Colosseum — has been detected by an international team of European astronomers using the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope. Th...
Astronomers using the #nasaesahubblespacetelescope have for the first time directly measured the mass of a single, isolated white dwarf star – the surviving core of a burned-out sunlike star.Researche...
The discovery of diverse ices in the darkest, coldest regions of a molecular cloud measured to date has been announced by an international team of astronomers using the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelesc...
Researchers have confirmed the presence of an exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star, using the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope for the first time. Formally classified as LHS 475 b, the plane...
NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, is full of mystery. Now, though, it is less mysterious thanks to new findings from the #nasaesacsajameswebbspacetelescope.NCG ...
