Astronomers Detect Exceptionally High "Alcohol" Levels In Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
The comet contains higher levels of this simple alcohol than almost all known comets from our solar system.

James Webb Telescope Captures Rare Infrared Footprints of Io and Ganymede Inside Jupiter’s Auroras
Jupiter produces the strongest auroras in the solar system. These features glow brightly around its poles as energetic particles crash into the giant planet's atmosphere. New observations have now revealed that Jupiter's moons can disturb this glowing display in unexpected ways. Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified...

NASA’s Webb Telescope Confirms Asteroid 2024 YR4 Will Safely Pass the Moon in 2032
Infrared observations from the James Webb Space Telescope refined the orbit of asteroid 2024 YR4, confirming it will safely pass about 21,200 km above the Moon in December 2032. The new data eliminates earlier estimates that suggested a small chance of a lunar impact.

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 Captures Stunning Infrared View of Exposed Cranium Nebula
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured remarkably detailed infrared images of PMR 1, known as the “Exposed Cranium,” a planetary nebula roughly 5,000 light-years away in the constellation Vela. The observations reveal a glowing inner “brain” region surrounded by a hydrogen gas shell, divided by a dark lane of ejected material, pro...

James Webb Telescope Maps Uranus in 3D for the First Time; Data Reveals Hidden Storms, Methane Clouds
The James Webb Space Telescope has produced the first 3D map of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, tracking temperatures and ion densities up to 5,000 kilometers above its clouds. The observations reveal bright auroras shaped by the planet’s tilted magnetic field and confirm that Uranus is still slowly cooling over long timescales.

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...
