While scouring images from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers spotted Capotauro, "one of the most puzzling discoveries" to date.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have charted billions of years of galactic evolution, finding that galaxies near the dawn of time were much more chaotic than they are today.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope's infrared camera, scientists have captured the gigantic jet blasting out of M87* in a new light.

Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope, astrophysicists have spotted what they say is compelling evidence of a new type of cosmic object called a 'dark star.'

Near-infrared images from the James Webb Space Telescope revealed five early universe galaxies merging within a large halo.

Deep-field images from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope revealed 300 unusually energetic early galaxy candidates, offering new insights into how the universe formed and evolved over 13 billion years ago.

A distant galaxy nicknamed "Cosmic Grapes" is bursting with massive star-forming clumps — far more than expected — offering fresh clues about how galaxies grew in the early universe.

Using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered dormant galaxies with a wide range of masses in the first billion years after the Big Bang, moving one step closer to understanding how early galaxies grow.

Located billions of light-years away, the "Cosmic Owl" is a pair of colliding ring galaxies spotted by the JWST. It's also an "exceptional natural laboratory" for studying how galaxies evolve.
