The James Webb Space Telescope observed 19 nearby face-on spiral galaxies in near- and mid-infrared light as part of its contributions to the Physics at High Angular resolution in Nearby GalaxieS ...

NASA's James Webb space telescope has peered deep into the hearts of nearby spiral galaxies to get a better look at star formation. The new observations are part of a much larger survey where ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured images of three nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths, giving them a first look at star formation, gas and dust. Data has ...

Students in a joint UT Austin and UTSA astronomy course say they have zeroed in on an unexpectedly massive black hole parked ...

The universe teems with systems of two stars orbiting each other in a seemingly endless cosmic dance. Scientists have long hypothesized that one out of three massive stars in these binaries have their ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is helping astronomers to peer into nearby galaxies and see the elaborate structures of dust and gas which are created by and necessary for star formation. The Physics ...

A team of astronomers has completed the first census of molecular clouds in the nearby universe. The study produced the first images of nearby galaxies with the same sharpness and quality as optical ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

The newest images from the James Webb Space Telescope, released today by NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute, show stars, gas, and dust on small scales in 19 nearby disk galaxies beyond our ...
