James Webb Space Telescope discovers ‘super-Venus’ exoplanet GJ 1214 b with rare composition 48 light-years away
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered exoplanet GJ 1214 b, situated 48 light-years away in the constellation Ophiuchus. This planet has a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, presenting a unique structure between Earth-like and Neptune-like planets.
Astronomers solve mystery of "little red dots" spotted by James Webb Space Telescope
Ever since NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope was launched, it’s been revealing more about the universe than even most astronomers expected. Some of the data JWST has sent back to Earth has been awe-inspiring, but some of it has been downright confusing or challenging to dominant theories in cosmology.
Are James Webb Space Telescope images really so colorful?
When Pagan and DePasquale first receive the images, they appear in black and white. The colors are added to the image later, as the data from the various filters are translated into the spectrum of visible light, Pagan explained. The longest wavelengths appear red, while the shorter wavelengths are blue or purple.
James Webb telescope captures 1st 'mid-infrared' flare from Milky Way's supermassive black hole
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a mid-infrared picture of Sagittarius A*, filling in a long-standing gap in observations..
NASA's James Webb telescope spots mysterious 'Super-Venus' exoplanet 48 light-years away
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope reveal GJ 1214 b, a unique exoplanet with a dense carbon dioxide atmosphere, challenging typical planetary classifications and offering new insights into planetary formation and evolution.
Centuries-old supernova guides James Webb Space Telescope through an interstellar gap
"We think every dense, dusty region that we see, and most of the ones we don't see, look like this on the inside — we just have never been able to look inside them before."
James Webb Space Telescope's 'little red dots' come into focus
A cosmic object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has flummoxed astronomers. Now, a research team has studied hundreds of these "little red dots" and found clues about their identity.
