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.

James Webb Space Telescope Finds What Killed Pablo's Galaxy: "Death By A Thousand Cuts"
The findings revealed that ALMA observations detected no carbon monoxide, indicating a severe lack of cold, star-forming gas.

A Massive Black Hole Starved Pablo’s Galaxy, Ending Its Star Formation
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA have uncovered how a massive black hole shut down star formation in Pablo’s Galaxy. Powerful winds expelled gas at hundreds of kilometres per second, leaving almost no cold fuel behind. The findings suggest many early galaxies did not die explosively, but were slowly starved by their centr...

James Webb Telescope Finds Rare Cosmic Dust in One of the Universe’s Most Primitive Galaxies
A breakthrough has been made in the area of astrophysics as NASA’s James Webb Telescope has spotted two rare kinds of dust in the Early-Universe Analog.

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.

NASA Uncovers Mysterious Exoplanet Where Carbon Clouds Can Form Diamonds
The distant planet appears to be in the shape of a lemon as the pulsar's intense gravity stretches the planet.

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...

James Webb Confirms First Runaway Supermassive Black Hole Rocking Through Space
The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the first runaway supermassive black hole, moving at 2.2 million mph through the Cosmic Owl galaxies. Pushing a galaxy-sized shockwave and leaving a long trail of star-forming gas, this discovery confirms long-standing theories about black hole ejections and opens the door to finding more cosmic speedste...

James Webb Space Telescope Could Illuminate Dark Matter in an Unexpected Way
New research suggests the James Webb Space Telescope could help uncover the true nature of dark matter. By observing strange, elongated galaxies in the early universe, scientists believe JWST may reveal how dark matter shaped cosmic structure, offering clues that could narrow down long-standing theories about this invisible substance.

James Webb Space Telescope Could Help Reveal Dark Matter in a Way Scientists Did Not Anticipate
New research suggests the James Webb Space Telescope could help scientists understand dark matter by studying oddly shaped early galaxies. These elongated galaxies may form due to dark matter’s gravitational behaviour, offering indirect clues about whether ultralight or warm dark matter particles shaped the early universe.

James Webb Telescope Finds Evidence Of Giant "Dinosaur" Stars From Early Universe
The research also suggests that these massive stars transformed directly into black holes at the end of their lives without undergoing a supernova explosion.

NASA Finds Thick Atmosphere On Rare Rocky Exoplanet
Scientists are now analysing the entire data in depth to create a complete map of the temperature around the planet and better understand the composition of its atmosphere.

Webb Telescope Discovers Hidden Atmosphere on Molten Super-Earth TOI-561 b Despite Extreme Heat
NASA’s Webb Telescope detects a hidden atmosphere on ultra-hot super-Earth TOI-561 b, revealing gases above its molten surface, challenging previous assumptions about small planets surviving intense stellar radiation.
