NASA's Webb Telescope Captures Rare Views Of Galaxy Shaped By Cosmic Collision
Earlier visible-light observations by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope could not show the galaxy's central region because dust blocked the view.

NASA Shares Image Of Ancient Star Cluster Glowing Like A Chandelier
It is located 27,000 light-years away in the constellation Sagittarius, and it shines like a chandelier filled with countless lights, where each light is actually a star.

NASA's James Webb Telescope Observes Millions Of Stars Within 'Cigar Galaxy'
Astronomers note that M82's extreme starburst phase won't last forever. It is expected to continue for only a few hundred million years-a brief moment in cosmic time.

Scientists Find Jupiter-Sized Planets Lighter Than Cotton Candy
Astronomers discovered two giant exoplanets with densities lower than cotton candy, making them the lightest known planets of their size.

Study Reveals Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Could Be The Oldest Object Detected In Solar System
The findings surprised researchers, who used the comet's composition to better understand the environment in which it formed.

JWST Reveals Salt Clouds in the Atmosphere of the ‘Pink Planet’ GJ 504b
Using just two hours of observations, JWST decoded the atmosphere of GJ 504b, a cool pink world 57 light-years away. Scientists detected water vapor, methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide, while deep salt clouds helped explain the object's unusual appearance and temperature.

JWST Watches HD 80606 bExoplanet Heat Up by 1,100 Degrees in Hours
The James Webb Space Telescope observed HD 80606 b undergo a dramatic temperature surge during its closest approach to its star. The data revealed extreme heating and detected methane and carbon dioxide, offering a rare look at how giant exoplanet atmospheres respond to intense stellar energy.

Scientists May Have Solved the Missing Sulfur Mystery in Star-Forming Clouds
A new simulation suggests sulfur in star-forming clouds may be locked inside icy dust grains through previously overlooked chemical reactions. The findings offer fresh clues to a decades-old cosmic mystery and could improve our understanding of life's essential ingredients in space.

Astronomers Discover Why Massive Galaxies Died Early in the Universe
Astronomers have discovered a powerful galactic wind in the merging galaxy system CRISTAL-02. The outflow is removing star-forming gas faster than it can be replenished, providing the first direct evidence for a mechanism that may have shut down star formation in massive early galaxies.
