Picture shows a fiery red ball with light spots shining in a pitch-black background. A French scientist who tweeted a picture of a slice of chorizo and claimed it was an image of a far-off star acquired by the James Webb Space Telescope has issued an apology. The image of the spicy Spanish sausage was … Read more
The Cartwheel Galaxy is 500 million light-years away, in the Sculptor constellation. Peering into the turmoil of a Cartwheel Galaxy, American Space Agency NASA’s James Webb Telescope has discovered new information on star formation and the galaxy’s central black hole. Against a background of numerous other galaxies, Webb’s strong infrared sight captured a fine image … Read more
“Primarily, it’s exciting because we have shown that we’re able to find and detect new transients with Webb, which was something that JWST is not designed to do,” continued Engesser. “But it’s one of the things we’re showing we’re able to do in sort of an ad hoc way.” JWST Finding celestial objects like supernovas … Read more
The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has once again captured the image of the oldest galaxy ever seen, beating its own previous milestone by about 100 million years. And what’s more? It was discovered by accident. It has been less than a month since the NASA James Webb Space Telescope has begun sending us the … Read more
NASA’s James Webb Telescope has discovered the oldest galaxy that is over 13 billion years away from us. NASA’s most powerful James Webb Space Telescope has released its first images to the world just a few days back and now it has set a new record by discovering the farthest galaxy ever. It has found … Read more
For their catalog, the University of Edinburgh scientists identified 55 distant galaxies, 44 of which had never been observed previously. In a preprint paper, the researchers described the new galaxy, dubbed CEERS-93316. They also say it has a record redshift of 16.7. Redshift is the measurement of the “stretching” of light by the expansion of … Read more
China is expected to launch its Xuntian Telescope by the end of 2023 which will have a 300 times wider view than the NASA Hubble Space Telescope. China is all set to launch its flagship telescope, which is expected to start its scientific operations by around 2024 at the China Space Station. It is known … Read more

A joint report from NASA, the Canadian Space Agency and the European Space Agency has revealed that the $10-billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suffered “uncorrectable” damage left by a micrometeoroid strike in late May. The paper was authored by more than 200 scientists and outlined the performance of the space telescope during its commissioning … Read more
