Nested morphology of gas streams confirms a mechanism that helps infant stars to grow by ingesting disk material. Planet-forming disks, maelstroms of gas and dust swirling around young stars, are nurseries that give rise to planetary systems,

Scientists using the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope have been left in a state of shock after discovering a first of its kind planet. With nothing else like it known in the universe, it is a remarkable discovery by the team from the University of Michigan (UoM) in the United States.

A gravitational lens tripled the event in the night sky and helped astronomers measure the rate at which the universe is expanding.

Astrophysicist Ethan Siegel explained why government investments have made great scientific discoveries possible

Planet-forming disks, maelstroms of gas and dust swirling around young stars, are nurseries that give rise to planetary systems, including our solar system. U of A astronomers have discovered new details of gas flows that sculpt those disks and shape them over time.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide at the surface of Pluto's largest moon, Charon, potentially shedding light on its origins.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope had to race against time to image a young exoplanet before it disappeared for a decade.

Different Kind of Galaxy As scientists continue learning more about how galaxies form, the James Webb Space Telescope is aiding their quest with new imagery of one being born "inside-out." Researchers from the University of Cambridge say that these images prove the existence of a type of galaxy that had previously been purely theoretical.
