NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has reached yet another milestone, as it has discovered the earliest galaxies confirmed to date. The galaxies that were unveiled date back to less than 400 million years after the big bang.
The Webb telescope has been busy since its launch earlier this year, from revealing...

An intermediate-mass black hole was recently discovered devouring an unsuspecting star that got a bit too close, producing a flair of radiation that outshined even the combined stellar light of the host dwarf galaxy. The destruction of the star is known as a "tidal disruption event", or TDE, and could help scientists...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reached far back into the universe's past, and captured a galaxy whose light took 13.3 billion years to reach Earth. When MACS0647-JD was first discovered in 2012, it set a new distance record for finding the farthest galaxy seen in the universe at that time.

NASA's Webb telescope has captured two galaxies colliding nearly 270 million light-years from Earth. The collision has sparked a frenzy of new star formations, known as a starburst, creating new stars at a rate twenty times faster than that of our own Milky Way.
The two galaxies, referred to as IC 1623, are very...

NASA's extremely powerful Webb telescope has helped researchers unveil at least three galaxies merging 11.5 billion years ago. The swirling galaxies are seen around a red quasar in a 'monster' black hole.
A team at Johns Hopkins University (JHU) were able to discover "a cluster of galaxies merging together around a...

Like a detective looking for evidence in the depths of space, the Webb telescope unveiled what appears to look like a fingerprint. The image is actually 17 dust rings that are being emitted from a pair of stars that are located a little over 5,000 light-years from Earth. The pair consists of an O4-5 primary star and a...

New research seems to indicate a giant gas bubble is circling the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Astronomers believe the hot bubble of gas is about the size of the planet Mercury, and makes a full lap around the black hole in just 70 minutes. "This requires a mind-blowing velocity of about 30 percent of the...
