Breathtaking James Webb Space Telescope Photos Of 2024
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) produces stunning images of distant galaxies, nebulae, exoplanets, and star formations with exceptional clarity.
The Webb Telescope Found A Planet Orbiting A Star 35 Light Years Away - Its Data Is Just Plain Odd
The James Webb Space Telescope suggests exoplanet L98-59d may possess a thick sulfurous atmosphere due to volcanic activity.
Rumors Circulating That James Webb Has Discovered Life on Other World
The James Webb Space Telescope has sparked speculation among scientists about the possibility of finding signs of alien life.
No definitive evidence has been found so far, but the telescope's observations could lead to the initial identification of potential biosignatures.
James Webb Spots Two Planets Solemnly Orbiting Dead Stars
Astronomers have spotted two gas giant exoplanets orbiting the remains of white dwarf stars, which is unusual due to the extreme forces involved.
The discovery suggests that gas giants could survive their hot stars collapsing and transforming into white dwarfs, but further confirmation is still needed.
Planets Orbiting Dead Stars Foretell the Solar System's Far-Future Fate
In the future, the sun will die and become a white dwarf, consuming the inner planets but potentially leaving the outer planets intact.
Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect evidence of giant exoplanets still orbiting white dwarfs.

More water worlds than we thought might support life
Excess water on an exoplanet could inhibit the development of life, but deeper water may enable habitability despite high-pressure conditions.
New understandings of planetary formation suggest that exoplanets might be more complex in their water distribution than previously thought.
Why the European Space Agency should join the US mission to Uranus
The Uranus Orbiter and Probe mission aims to explore Uranus, its moons, and ice giant characteristics, essential for understanding planetary formation and evolution.

Is the Emergence of Life an Expected Phase Transition in the Evolving Universe? | HackerNoon
Life is expected as a phase transition in the universe, entailing an open-ended and creative evolution without strict laws.
Webb directly images giant exoplanet that isn't where it should be
Directly imaging exoplanets requires specific conditions like youthful heat and a coronagraph to block starlight, enhancing our understanding of exoplanetary systems.
A high internal heat flux and large core in a warm neptune exoplanet
The study presents the detection of various molecules in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-107b using advanced telescopes.
'The ugly side of science' - how to report negative results
