The world, in perspective.

Direkte Aufnahmen von Exoplaneten werden durch die enorme Helligkeit ihrer Sterne erschwert. Ein neues Verfahren kann dieses Licht deutlich besser entfernen.

Software optimizes a physical model of the telescope to reduce noise.

<p>By modeling the James Webb Space Telescope&rsquo;s tiny movements, a new technique can reveal up to 15 times fainter alien worlds</p>

EXCLUSIVE: Impossible Dream Entertainment, the production company behind Oscar winners Get Out and BlacKkKlansman, is teaming with the UK’s Wall to Wall to develop and exec produce The Invited, a supernatural mystery thriller series inspired by the ghost story novels of bestselling author Wendy Webb. To be clear, the series won’t draw on any one […]

NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes have uncovered surprising clues about the solar system’s origins by studying 27 tiny, distant objects beyond Neptune. Scientists discovered that these ancient building blocks of planets have remained remarkably unchanged for billions of years, while their unexpected sizes and numbers challenge existing theories o

Intricate structures within the Cat’s Head Nebula are illuminated in this mid-infrared view from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope released on Oct. 29, 2026. The distinctive “cat’s head” shape of the nebula was likely sculpted over time by the intense ultraviolet radiation and winds from massive stars in the Carina Nebula. As this stellar feedback […]

Jordi Webber’s short film follows a Māori music producer grieving for his father.

Like a spectral form rising out of a cold mist, NASA’s Hubble and James Webb Space Telescopes have captured a hauntingly dynamic star-forming scene. It lies within the vast Carina Nebula, a diffuse star-forming region located about 7,500 light-years away from Earth. The small, select area both telescopes observed is nicknamed the Cat’s Head Nebula […]

In this Webb image released on Oct. 22, 2026, we see a turbulent cauldron of star formation filled with dense clumps of gas. This region is named N159 and is located 161,000 light-years away in the Large Magellanic Cloud, one of the satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way galaxy. This region has a lower metallicity […]

A scorching lava planet 280 light-years away has surprised astronomers by apparently maintaining a thick atmosphere despite conditions that should have stripped it away billions of years ago. James Webb Space Telescope observations suggest that TOI-561 b reflects about 75% of incoming starlight, possibly because of mineral clouds that act like a giant sunscr

Στο Ηλιακό μας Σύστημα, αλλά και στο μεγαλύτερο μέρος του σημερινού Σύμπαντος, οι συγκρούσεις άστρων είναι σπάνιες. Είναι λογικό, καθώς το Διάστημα είναι απέραντο και τα άστρα έχουν άφθονο χώρο για να κινούνται. Δεν φαίνεται όμως να ήταν έτσι και στο πρώιμο Σύμπαν. Ερευνητική ομάδα μελέτησε παρατηρήσεις του διαστημικού τηλεσκοπίου James Webb και διαπίστωσε ό

Marci Webber was institutionalized after being acquitted by reason of insanity for killing her 4-year-old daughter. For years she has said she is cured and should be freed.

The Webb telescope sees tiny red dots everywhere. Astronomers can’t agree on what they are, but some believe they may be enormous stars with black holes inside.

An image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope released on Oct. 6, 2026, reveals a cauldron of cosmic creation. Webb has unveiled numerous stars formerly hidden by clouds of dust in a stellar nursery known as NGC 7129, which resides about 3,300 light-years from Earth.
