Just a few days ago, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope presented images of the mesmerizing Cartwheel Galaxy. The cosmic structure is located 500 million light-years away from us, and you may have already guessed the reason for its unique moniker. ...
If anybody is still so naive to think that NASA doesn’t need the Hubble telescope anymore as long as it has James Webb, they are so wrong! The good ol’ three-decades-old telescope is once again under the spotlight thanks to ...
With the first records from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a group of academics recently filed a study to MNRAS in which they report the discovery of a candidate galaxy named CEERS-93316 that formed roughly 250 million years after ...
All four giant planets from our Solar System (Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune) have some level of ‘rings,’ meaning debris from comets, asteroids, shattered moons, etc. If you’re at least a bit interested in astronomy, you know very well that ...
How conducive is the Moon to the survival of humans? It seems that our odds have just improved. A recent study has shown that there are regions on the moon where temperatures are consistent enough for human beings to exist. ...
Let’s admit it: despite the huge amount of knowledge that astronomers have about the Universe, sending astronauts to the nearest planet to us is still difficult. At its closest approach, Mars is still tremendously farther away from Earth than the ...
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) of NASA has been pretty busy lately, as it presented the first full-color images of the Universe last month. But once again, the scientists in charge of JWST are up for great achievements! According ...
It seems that Earth remains a not-so-safe place, as many of us like to believe. After the 2016 CZ31 and 2013 CU83 asteroids passed by our planet last weekend at great speed, it’s now time for another huge space rock ...
Humanity had a lot to wait for NASA to finally deploy the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) into space. There’s no wonder why, as we’re talking about the most powerful space telescope ever built. NASA launched it last Christmas after ...
The James Webb Space Telescope hopes to learn how soon after the Big Bang galaxies formed and when stars began producing the ingredients required to create planets and life. The JWST has only just begun operations, yet it is already ...
