An unusual planetary system with three known ultra-low density "super-puff" planets has at least one more planet.
New studies led by researchers at the University of Central Florida offer for the first time a clearer picture of how the outer solar system formed and evolved based on analyses of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) and centaurs.
For the first time, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has detected and "weighed" a galaxy that not only existed around 600 million years after the big bang, but is also similar to what our Milky Way.
Using data from the Near-Infrared Spectrograph onboard the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have detected carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on the frozen surface of Pluto's moon Charon.
A team of astronomers working with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected six new ‘rogue planets,’ a discovery that could help us learn more about how stars and planets form.
A persistent, nagging problem with the expansion speed of the Universe may not require a rewrite of everything we know about physics.
Using JWST, astronomers have discovered a new exoplanet; a gas giant they've named Eps Ind Ab.
james Webb Space Telescope continues to revolutionise astronomy - it now shows the birth of a star. The star is named L1527, and at this young age, it's still ensconced in the molecular cloud that spawned it.
The two earliest and most distant galaxies yet confirmed, dating back to only 300 million years after the Big Bang, have been discovered using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed the birth of some of the youngest galaxies ever witnessed.
An international team of astronomers have used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to find evidence for an ongoing merger of two galaxies and their massive black holes when the Universe was only 740 million years old.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astronomers, including scientists from MPIA, constructed a global temperature map of the hot, gas giant exoplanet WASP-43b.
NASA's new space telescope spotted a 13 billion-year-old galaxy that is much too complex to exist that early in the Universe.
The gigantic galaxies we see in the Universe today, including our own Milky Way galaxy, started out far smaller.
The beginning of the Universe has always been something of a chicken-and-egg problem. Did stars and galaxies form first, with black holes slowly coalescing in their midst? Or did black holes appear before the first galaxies?
