This cosmic question mark, seen in 2024, is courtesy of galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154, which is so massive that it is ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured images of a distant galaxy that is forming a peculiar cosmic structure ...

It's 7 billion years ago, and the universe's heyday of star formation is beginning to slow. What might our Milky Way galaxy have looked like at that time? Astronomers have found clues in the form of a ...

Space is full of punctuation. Look carefully, and you'll see periods, colons, ellipses, even commas. Complex symbols are slightly more elusive, but the JWST has just spotted one in the wild. There, in ...

When the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured a recent image of two baby stars forming in a nearby system, scientists weren’t expecting anything out of the ordinary. But tucked away in the ...

The galaxy cluster MACS-J0417.5-1154 is so massive it is warping the fabric of space-time and distorting the appearance of galaxies behind it, an effect known as gravitational lensing. This natural ...

Could an invisible planet lurk at the edge of our solar system? Can black holes ricochet through space like intergalactic billiard balls? Did our own galaxy's black hole "wake up" with a bang millions ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered a pair of distant galaxies being twisted into a cosmic question mark thanks to a rare form of gravitational lensing. When you purchase ...
