Gravitational Lensing: JWST Reveals Distant Galaxies
Gravitational lensing, captured by JWST, magnifies light from remote galaxies, revealing details unseen by Hubble. It allows astronomers to study galaxy formation and dark matter's role in the early universe.
Pismis 24: Stellar Winds Sculpting a Galactic Dreamscape
JWST reveals Pismis 24 in the Lobster Galaxy: Powerful stellar winds and UV radiation from massive young stars sculpt gas and dust, birthing new stars in a cosmic nursery. Colors reveal gas density and starlight.
NGC 6357: Water-Scarce Planet Formation Mystery
Scientists are puzzled by the lack of water in planet-forming disks in NGC 6357. JWST and upgraded observatories are crucial to understanding the role of carbon dioxide and UV radiation in Earth-like world formation.
JWST Creates Largest Map of the Universe: Discoveries!
JWST's COSMOS-Web map, spanning cosmic time, reveals 800,000 galaxies, including unexpectedly numerous galaxies and supermassive black holes, challenging cosmological models and boosting deep space exploration.
Dust Obscured Black Hole Mass: JWST Recalibration
JWST observations reveal dust obscured a black hole (LID-568), leading to overestimation of its mass and accretion rate. Recalculation using infrared light provides a more accurate mass estimation.
Here are 5 exoplanet mysteries the James Webb telescope could help solve
For instance, a surface covered in the black rock basalt would hint at the presence of volcanoes, like on many planets in our solar system.
