Review Of Infinite Cosmos: Visions From The James Webb Space Telescope
Brian Greene (Cosmic String Theory) and Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel have collaborated on a National Geographic coffee-table book almost as inspiring as the night sky.
James Webb Space Telescope unveils surprising 'Red Monsters' in the early universe
For a long time, astronomers believed galaxy formation followed a very specific model: cosmic gas collects in clumps, stars are born from those clumps, and, over billions of years, stellar neighborhoods gradually increase in size. However, the James Webb Space Telescope, launched in December 2021, has disrupted that model.
'Impossible' black holes discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope may finally have an explanation
Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".
The Secrets Behind the James Webb Space Telescope's Deployment!
Launched without incident, but the James Webb Space Telescope still faces many challenges. In this video, we walk through the deployment steps that will bring JWST into its final science-ready state.
The Sombrero Galaxy's star-forming days are nearly over — and the James Webb Space Telescope may know why
The James Webb Space Telescope's brand-new image of the Sombrero Galaxy casts this city of stars in a new light — mid-infrared light, to be precise — and reveals clumps of dust in a mottled outer ring.
