James Webb Space Telescope Spots an Exoplanet Losing Its Atmosphere in a Huge Helium Stream
Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have observed a massive helium cloud escaping from the super-puff exoplanet WASP-107b, marking the first direct detection of such atmospheric loss. Webb’s infrared data reveal an enormous exosphere nearly ten times the planet’s radius, with helium streaming both ahead of and behind the plane...

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.

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 ...

Webb Finds Phosphorus-Bearing Gas in an Ancient Brown Dwarf
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected phosphine (PH₃) in the atmosphere of the ancient brown dwarf Wolf 1130C, about 54 light-years away in Cygnus. This marks the first confirmed detection of a phosphorus-bearing gas in such a metal-poor object. The finding surprises astronomers, as phosphine was previously undetected in similar brown ...

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...

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...

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.

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.

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.

NASA Detects Strange Gamma-Ray Burst That Defies 50 Years of Expectations
Astronomers have spotted GRB 250702B, a gamma-ray burst that erupted several times over two days—something never seen before. Detected by NASA’s Fermi and China’s Einstein Probe, the event defies current models of collapsing stars or black holes, hinting at an entirely new cosmic phenomenon.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope Captures Lobster Nebula’s Towering Spires and Massive Stars
NASA’s Webb Telescope imaged the Lobster Nebula (NGC 6357), 5,500 light-years away. Its young star cluster, Pismis 24, contains giant stars carving glowing gas pillars. Pismis 24-1, once thought to be one supermassive star, is a triple system with stars up to 74 times the Sun’s mass.

James Webb Spots Bizarre Planet-Forming Disk Full of Carbon Dioxide
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a bizarre planet-forming disk dominated by carbon dioxide where water is almost absent. This rare finding, in star system XUE 10 within NGC 6357, challenges current models of planetary formation and may reshape our understanding of habitable worlds.
