  Researchers Found Mysterious Objects That Could Be "Dark Stars"

  In smaller dark stars, when their dark matter runs out, normal nuclear fusion can begin, and they gradually become normal stars.

  JWST Detects Thick Atmosphere on Ultra-Hot Rocky Exoplanet TOI-561 b

  Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered compelling evidence of a thick atmosphere surrounding TOI-561 b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours. Despite extreme radiation and molten surface conditions, the planet appears cooler than expected, suggesting heat-redistributing atmospheric winds and volati...

  TRAPPIST-1e Methane Signal Likely False, Webb Data Suggests Airless Planet

  The TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, located about 39 light-years from Earth, hosts seven rocky worlds orbiting a cool red dwarf star. While several of these Earth-sized planets lie in the star’s habitable zone, new observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest their atmospheres may be too thin to support life. Earlier hints of methane aro...

  James Webb Space Telescope Finds Unexpected Ultraviolet Radiation Around Young Protostars

  Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected unexpected ultraviolet radiation around five young protostars in the Ophiuchus molecular cloud. Since infant stars are not expected to emit UV light, the finding challenges long-standing star-formation models. Researchers ruled out external illumination from nearby stars, concluding the...

  James Webb Telescope May Have Discovered Universe’s Earliest Supermassive Black Hole

  James Webb may have discovered the universe’s earliest supermassive black hole in galaxy GHZ2. Observations reveal high-energy emission lines, challenging existing models of rapid black hole and galaxy growth. Upcoming JWST and ALMA studies aim to confirm AGN activity and refine our understanding of early cosmic evolution.

  James Webb Space Telescope May Have Spotted the Universe’s First Stars, Astronomers Say

  Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have detected a distant, metal-poor galaxy whose unusually massive, ultraviolet-bright stars match the expected signatures of Population III — the universe’s first stars. Through the help of gravitational lensing and Webb’s infrared sensitivity, researchers observed light from just 800 million ...

  James Webb Telescope May Have Spotted First Generation of Stars in the Universe

  Astronomers using JWST may have discovered Population III stars in cluster LAP1-B, offering new insights into early galaxy formation and the universe’s first luminous objects. JWST observations suggest Population III stars may have formed 13 billion years ago, helping trace early galaxies. These stars might be building blocks for larger galaxies ...

  NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Telescope Challenges Old Theories on Mini-Neptune Worlds

  New models suggest mini-Neptunes—planets smaller than Neptune with thick gas envelopes—may have solid rocky surfaces instead of molten magma. Data from NASA’s JWST revealed high-pressure atmospheres capable of compressing molten rock into solid crusts. This discovery challenges earlier assumptions and offers key insights into exoplanet compos...

  James Webb Telescope Spots Evidence of a Black Hole Carving a Massive Scar Through a Galaxy

  Astronomers using JWST and ALMA discovered a 20,000-light-year-long contrail in galaxy NGC 3627. Scientists believe it was carved by a massive black hole traveling through the galactic disk, leaving behind a turbulent scar of dust and gas that may offer new clues to galaxy evolution.

  NASA’s James Webb Telescope May Have Found First Black Hole Star, Known as ‘The Cliff’

  JWST detected “The Cliff,” a candidate black hole star with a black hole core wrapped in a luminous gas shell. This discovery offers insights into black hole formation, stellar evolution, and cosmic dynamics, prompting astronomers to search for similar objects across the universe.

  Not Like Venus Or Mars, Distant Exoplanet May Have Atmosphere Like Earth's

  A distant exoplanet might have an atmosphere similar to Earth's, early observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) suggest. It is part of a group of planets orbiting a star called TRAPPIST-1, about 40 light-years away from Earth.

  Tiny Red Dots Spotted By NASA’s James Webb Telescope Could Be Black Hole Stars

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope revealed mysterious “little red dots” that seem too bright and mature for their age. A new study suggests they may be black hole stars—giant hydrogen spheres powered by black holes—helping explain the rapid growth of early supermassive black holes.
