The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This time, the most powerful telescope ever launched into space uncovered a ...

Why it's so special: This stunning image from the Hubble Space Telescope depicts a star-forming region called Sharpless 2-106, or S106 for short. Characterized by its "wings," it is classified as a ...

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered dormant galaxies with a wide range of masses in the first billion years after the Big Bang, moving one step closer to ...

July 10 (UPI) --NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed thick, dusty layers of the Cat's Claw Nebula, a region of star formation about 5,500 light-years away in the constellation Scorpius, the ...

The telescope continues to uncover previously unknown pockets of outer space. The James Webb Space Telescope has made yet another stunning discovery to round out three years of space exploration. This ...

This story was provided by Live Science, a sister site of Space.com. Astronomers have discovered over a dozen "dormant" galaxies that paused their star formation within the first billion years after ...

For a long time, scientists thought that only actively star-forming galaxies should be observed in the very early Universe. The James Webb space telescope now reveals that galaxies stopped forming ...

At the heart of our galaxy lies a cosmic puzzle: although the Galactic Center is packed with star-making material, massive stars form there surprisingly slowly. Using NASA's retired SOFIA observatory, ...

Protostellar jets were detected for the first time using ALMA in the Milky Way’s outer region, showing that star formation works similarly in distant, low-metallicity regions, whereas the chemistry ...

“Three years into its mission, Webb continues to deliver on its design – revealing previously hidden aspects of the universe, from the star formation process to some of the earliest galaxies,” said ...
