9 Using the joint NASA, European Space Agency (ESA) and Canadian Space Agency (CSA) James Webb Space Telescope, a group of scientists have discovered a variety of never-before-seen features in Jupiter’s upper atmosphere. The features were found in the atmospheric region above the iconic Great Red Spot, a high-pressure area in Jupiter’s atmosphere that creates … Read more

Artist’s impression of the bright core region of a quasar, an active galaxy. The supermassive black hole at the center is surrounded by a bright disk of gas and dust. The dust component further out can obscure the view of the interior and shines mainly in the mid-infrared region, light that can be analyzed by … Read more
Artist’s impression of a protoplanetary disk around a very low mass star. It shows a selection of hydrocarbon molecules (methane, CH4; Ethan, C2H6; Ethylene, C2H2; Diacetylene, C4H2; Propyne, C3H4; Benzene, C6H6) detected on the disk around ISO-ChaI 147.

When the James Webb Space Telescope launched in late 2021, we expected stunning images and illuminating science results. So far, the powerful space telescope has met our expectations. The JWST has shown us things about the early universe that we never expected. Some of these results force a rewriting of astronomy textbooks. Textbooks are updated … Read more
An international team of astronomers has announced the detection of two of the earliest and most distant galaxies known. The light from both comes from just 300 million years after the Big Bang and it was only possible to observe them thanks to the power of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The galaxies are … Read more
