The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a marvel of modern astronomy, has provided a glimpse into the dynamical processes that shape planetary systems. Recently, JWST detected a major event in the Beta Pictoris system: a colossal collision between two asteroids. This event, discovered by the JWST, has given astronomers a rare opportunity to study the … Read more

In a remarkable feat of astronomical research, Kevin Hainline, an astronomer at the University of Arizona, has observed a galaxy that offers a glimpse into the universe’s distant past. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Hainline and his team have identified a galaxy, named JADES-GS-z14-0, that appears as it existed 290 million years after … Read more

It’s a twin! Webb Telescope reveals long-studied star is not one, but two, with massive jets streaming into space

by

Astronomers have had a big surprise with the discovery that a star known as WL 20S, which has been studied extensively since the 1970s, is actually not one but a pair of stars. The discovery of the surprising twin was made with the James Webb Space Telescope during a survey of a group of young … Read more
