Image from James Webb telescope captures heart of Milky Way in ‘unprecedented detail’ | Science & Tech News
admin
A new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals never-before-seen features at the centre of the Milky Way. It shows a portion of the centre of our galaxy about 25,000 light years from Earth in “unprecedented detail”. It will allow astronomers to learn more about how stars are formed in an “extreme cosmic environment”,…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope provides revelations into how early galaxies formed | Science & Tech News
admin
A study into the formation of early galaxies has upended long-held theories about the evolution of the universe. Using NASA‘s powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of international researchers looked back at some which formed 10 billion years ago or more. It was a time when astronomers had believed our own Milky Way…

James Webb Space Telescope captures spectacular image of final chapters of star’s life | Science & Tech News
admin
The spectacular final chapters of a star’s life have been captured in unprecedented detail by the James Webb Space Telescope. Astronomers say the image of the Ring Nebula – which got its name from its wispy, doughnut-like structure – may provide new insights into what happens to the celestial bodies as they die. Dr Mike…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures image of a dying star | Science & Tech News
admin
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of a star on the cusp of death. The telescope’s infrared lens observed the gas and dust flung into space by a huge star 15,000 light-years away. The shimmering purple cast-off material once comprised the outer layer of the star Wolf-Rayet 124. It sits in…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope finds signs of ‘building blocks for life’ in icy clouds | Science & Tech News
admin
Molecular species that form the “building blocks for life” have been found in a deep space region of icy clouds. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astronomers and scientists confirmed the presence of methane and ethanol, as well as small compounds with nitrogen and sulphur. On Earth, sources of methane include emissions…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope takes image of dust ‘fingerprint’ created by two stars | Science & Tech News
admin
A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) shows at least 17 dust rings resembling a fingerprint created by a rare type of star and its companion. Located more than 5,000 light years from Earth, the cosmic duo is collectively known as Wolf-Rayet 140 (WR 140). Each ring was created when the two…

James Webb space telescope captures Neptune rings and moons | Science & Tech News
admin
NASA has released new images capturing Neptune and its rings, taken by the James Webb space telescope in July. Neptune is the solar system’s outermost planet which has thin rings with faint dust bands around it. These have been observed in infrared for the first time, allowing for seven of Neptune’s 14 moons to be…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope takes its first image of planet outside solar system | Science & Tech News
admin
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken its first image of a planet outside of our solar system. The telescope recorded four different views of the planet HIP 65426 b, a gas giant about six to 12 times the mass of Jupiter. “This is a transformative moment, not only for Webb but also for astronomy…
