Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted the most distant “jellyfish galaxy” ever seen — a cosmic oddity ...

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer inside the heart of spiral galaxies, where young stars carve out glowing paths. The space observatory, named after a North Carolina native, ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a surprisingly large galaxy, nicknamed "The Big Wheel," in the early universe. This galaxy formed much faster than current theories predict, challenging our ...

Learn how supermassive black holes may be suppressing star formation in nearby galaxies.

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming ...
