NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Confirms Asteroid 2024 YR4 Will Not Strike the Moon
New Webb observations refined asteroid 2024 YR4’s orbit, showing it will safely pass about 21,200 km from the Moon in December 2032. The earlier 4.3% impact probability has now been eliminated.

James Webb Telescope Finds Galaxies Nearly as Old as the Early Universe
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has revealed early galaxies that appear almost as old as the universe itself. By analyzing 31 galaxies at high redshift, researchers estimated stellar ages of around 600 million years—close to the universe’s age at that epoch. One galaxy may even seem older than the universe, posing a potential challenge to t...

Asteroid Heading Towards Moon Could Create "Optical Flash" On Impact, Finds Study
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will have narrow viewing windows on February 18 and 26 to gather crucial data on the asteroid.

James Webb Telescope Discovers Most Distant Galaxy From Just 300 Million Years After the Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the most distant galaxy ever observed, JADES-GS-z14-0, seen as it existed just 300 million years after the Big Bang. Its unexpected brightness and chemical complexity suggest rapid early star formation, challenging long-standing theories about how the first galaxies evolved in the early universe.

JWST Uncovers the Origins of the Universe’s First Supermassive Black Holes
James Webb Space Telescope observations reveal that the earliest supermassive black holes formed from massive gas clouds collapsing directly into heavy seeds. This process bypassed normal star formation, allowing black holes to reach millions of solar masses within just 200–500 million years after the Big Bang, solving a long-standing cosmic myst...

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Most Distant Galaxy That Existed 280 Million Years After Big Bang
MoM-z14's light has travelled over 13.5 billion years to reach Earth, the scientists have revealed.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Might Have Spotted Hidden Supermassive Black Holes
Mysterious “little red dots” spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope may not be tiny galaxies after all. A new study suggests they are supermassive black holes wrapped in dense gas and dust, perfectly disguised in the early universe and shining intensely in infrared light.

JWST Reveals Powerful Winds and Dense Atmosphere on Scorching Exoplanet TOI-561b
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence that TOI-561b, an ultra-hot rocky exoplanet orbiting its star every 11 hours, still retains a dense atmosphere. Temperatures measured on both its day and night sides are far lower than expected for a bare rock, implying powerful winds and efficient heat transport. ...

JWST Spots Most Distant Supernova Ever, From 730 Million Years After Big Bang
Scientists have confirmed the most distant supernova ever observed, exploding just 730 million years after the Big Bang. Detected through a powerful gamma-ray burst and later verified by the James Webb Space Telescope, the event offers a rare glimpse of the deaths of the universe’s first stars during the era of reionisation and challenges expecta...

The Most Exciting Exoplanet Discoveries of 2025: Know the Strange Worlds Scientists Have Found
Astronomers marked a milestone year as confirmed exoplanets surpassed 6,000 in 2025. Discoveries ranged from planets orbiting two suns to worlds losing their atmospheres or forming in real time. The findings reshaped ideas about how planets form, survive, and evolve across the Milky Way.
