James Webb Captures Stunning Infrared Image of the Helix Nebula Eye of God
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a detailed infrared image of the Helix Nebula, also known as the “Eye of God.” The glowing ring of gas around a white dwarf star reveals filaments and knots formed as stellar winds collide with older material, offering insight into the fate of Sun-like stars.

NASA James Webb Telescope Reveals ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ Star System Hiding a Supermassive Black Hole
For decades, astronomers have studied galaxy formation, but the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has now revealed a galaxy with a dual personality, earning it the nickname “Jekyll and Hyde.” Known as Virgil, the galaxy shows a mild-mannered side, forming stars quietly, while its hidden core harbours a heavily obscured supermassive black hole t...

Webb’s Stunning View of Apep Shows a Rare Triple-Star System Wrapped in Spirals
Webb’s mid-infrared images of Apep reveal a rare triple-star system producing vast carbon-rich dust spirals from colliding stellar winds. The two Wolf–Rayet stars and a distant supergiant create layered shells that record centuries of activity and enrich the galaxy with elements vital for future stars and planets.

NASA’s JWST Produces First-Ever 3D Map of Distant Planet WASP-18b
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has created the first-ever 3D atmospheric map of an exoplanet, revealing the extreme conditions on WASP-18b, an “ultra-hot Jupiter” located 400 light-years away. Using infrared eclipse mapping, scientists discovered a scorching hotspot over 2,700 °C where water molecules are breaking apart. This groundbreaki...

JWST Reveals Stunning New Details About M87’s Supermassive Black Hole Jet
Recent images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are the clearest ever pictures of the jet arriving from the massive black hole in the galaxy named Messier 87 (M87). There are clear details in the image shot by the telescope, which show the change of brightness, shape and the jet that is usually in disguise. As per scientists, this d...

James Webb Telescope Unveils Hidden Star-Forming Regions in Sagittarius B2
New JWST observations reveal the hidden star-forming activity inside Sagittarius B2, the Milky Way’s largest molecular cloud. By seeing through dense dust, astronomers can study how stars form efficiently in extreme environments. These findings help explain not only Sgr B2 but also broader mechanisms shaping galaxies.

James Webb Space Telescope Spots Rare Protostar Blasting Twin Jets Across Milky Way
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a rare protostar about ten times the Sun’s mass blasting twin jets nearly eight light-years long. The beams carve through the glowing Sharpless 2-284 nebula, offering astronomers a vivid glimpse into how massive stars form and shape their galactic environment.
