Colliding Spiral Galaxies Captured in Sparkling Detail
JWST infrared and Chandra X-ray data reveal merging spirals IC 2163 and NGC 2207, showing dust structures, high-energy regions, and triggered star formation.
The trick to identifying JWST images in an instant
JWST images are identified by diffraction spikes: six large and two smaller spikes around bright point sources caused by hexagonal mirrors and three support struts.
Planetary nebulae form when Sun-like stars eject outer layers and hot contracting cores ionize the expelled gas, with binary companions shaping diverse bipolar structures.
Is our first "galaxy-quasar hybrid" also a Little Red Dot?
Deep, wide, multiwavelength observations reveal two main distant object types—galaxies and quasars—and over 300 "Little Red Dot" galaxy–quasar hybrids.
Scientists Detect Precise Origin of Mysterious Signal From Deep Space
Precise localization of an exceptionally bright FRB, 20250316A (RBFLOAT), ties it to a 45-light-year region in galaxy NGC 4141 and a JWST infrared source.
JWST reveals that galaxies grow up quickly in our Universe
Galaxies harbor essential cosmic structures, housing nearly all stars and life in the universe, showcasing unexpected features at youthful ages with the advent of JWST.
