Scientists Find Strange Chemical Signature On Pluto And Titan That No One Can Identify
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected an unexplained chemical signature on both Pluto and Saturn's moon Titan.

NASA's Webb Telescope Captures Rare Views Of Galaxy Shaped By Cosmic Collision
Earlier visible-light observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope could not show the galaxy's central region because dust blocked the view.
-
NASA's James Webb Telescope Observes Millions Of Stars Within 'Cigar Galaxy'
Astronomers note that M82's extreme starburst phase won't last forever. It is expected to continue for only a few hundred million years-a brief moment in cosmic time.
-
Study Reveals Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Could Be The Oldest Object Detected In Solar System
The findings surprised researchers, who used the comet's composition to better understand the environment in which it formed.

JWST Reveals Salt Clouds in the Atmosphere of the ‘Pink Planet’ GJ 504b
Using just two hours of observations, JWST decoded the atmosphere of GJ 504b, a cool pink world 57 light-years away. Scientists detected water vapor, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide, while deep salt clouds helped explain the object's unusual appearance and temperature.

JWST Watches HD 80606 bExoplanet Heat Up by 1,100 Degrees in Hours
The James Webb Space Telescope observed HD 80606 b undergo a dramatic temperature surge during its closest approach to its star. The data revealed extreme heating and detected methane and carbon dioxide, offering a rare look at how giant exoplanet atmospheres respond to intense stellar energy.

Scientists May Have Solved the Missing Sulfur Mystery in Star-Forming Clouds
A new simulation suggests sulfur in star-forming clouds may be locked inside icy dust grains through previously overlooked chemical reactions. The findings offer fresh clues to a decades-old cosmic mystery and could improve our understanding of life's essential ingredients in space.

Astronomers Discover Why Massive Galaxies Died Early in the Universe
Astronomers have discovered a powerful galactic wind in the merging galaxy system CRISTAL-02. The outflow is removing star-forming gas faster than it can be replenished, providing the first direct evidence for a mechanism that may have shut down star formation in massive early galaxies.

JWST Reveals the True Identity of Mysterious Little Red Dots
Using JWST, astronomers obtained the most detailed spectrum yet of a little red dot and found evidence that these mysterious objects are rapidly growing black holes wrapped in dense gas. The discovery could explain why they appear, shine red, and eventually disappear from the cosmic record.
-
James Webb Space Telescope Weighs Most Distant Dormant Black Hole Ever Detected
Using JWST and a natural gravitational lens, astronomers measured a six-billion-solar-mass dormant black hole more than 10 billion light-years away. The discovery offers a rare glimpse into how galaxies and black holes evolved when the universe was just three billion years old.
-
James Webb Space Telescope Detects Most Distant Dormant Black Hole Ever Found
JWST has identified the most distant dormant black hole ever observed, a six-billion-solar-mass giant in galaxy MRG-M0138. Seen when the universe was only three billion years old, the discovery provides rare evidence that black holes and galaxies evolved together in the early cosmos.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Detects Methane On Interstellar Comet For First Time, Reveals Unusual Chemistry
The observations further confirmed that comet 3I/ATLAS remains unusually rich in carbon dioxide.
-
Study Reveals Some Supermassive Black Holes May Have Been Born Big
According to researchers, some of these black holes may have formed without first going through a stellar collapse phase.
-
JWST Discovers Ancient Black Hole Older Than Its Own Galaxy
JWST has identified a supermassive black hole from the early universe that outweighs most of its own galaxy, suggesting black holes may form before galaxies themselves.

James Webb Telescope Probes Universe's Most Distant 'Hot DOG', Shares Details
The results point to more than the usual dusty ring around the black hole, known as the AGN torus.
