The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest and most powerful space telescope built to date. Since it was launched in December 2021 it has provided groundbreaking insights. These include ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists spotted thin and thick disks in galaxies as far back as 10 billion years ago—something never seen before. These observations reveal that galaxies first ...

Researchers have tackled one of the biggest mysteries in modern astronomy - explaining the origin of unusually large black holes found in some of the ...
