Daily Telescope: Webb telescope reveals breathtaking structure of galaxies

The James Webb Space Telescope observed 19 face-on spiral galaxies to gain new insights into these galaxies and their similarities to the Milky Way.
The images from Webb reveal large, spherical holes in the gas and dust of the galaxies, which may have been created by exploding stars.

Daily Telescope: A stunning image of a star cluster in a nearby galaxy

The image features a nebula in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a nearby small galaxy.
The bright spot in the middle of the image is a bright young star surrounded by diffraction spikes.

NASA'S James Webb Space Telescope has found the most distant galaxy ever observed

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered the most distant known galaxy, challenging existing theories on early galaxy formation.

The most important lesson from JWST's "baby Milky Way"

The JWST reveals early galaxies, shedding light on the Universe's evolution and the formation of modern Milky Way-like galaxies.

What created more light: the Big Bang or stars?

The Universe, 13.8 billion years old, contains an estimated 6 to 20 trillion galaxies, with much of its star-formation history rooted in the past.
