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 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 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 ...

Image of the irregular dwarf galaxy Sextans A, located at a distance of about 4 million light years from us, towards the edge of the Local Group, captured by the VST (VLT Survey Telescope), an Italian ...

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 ...

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 ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has released a stunning smorgasbord of images of spiral galaxies. These pictures show 19 relatively nearby galaxies in greater detail than ever before. “They’re ...

nearby galaxies gave birth to their last star about 10 billion years ago. Astronomers will use all three Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) science instruments in nearly all modes to discover ...

Dwarf galaxies emitted significant radiation during the early universe. This radiation ionized hydrogen, ending the "Dark Ages." Dwarf galaxies were more numerous than larger galaxies, amplifying ...

Researchers have released their findings on polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the interstellar medium of nearby galaxies. It is a popular notion that aside from large celestial objects like planets, ...

While galaxies appear to be lonely wanderers in the vast universe, many in fact huddle closely in clusters, held together by their collective gravity. And sometimes, it would appear, they also munch ...
