It took over nine years for New Horizons to reach Pluto after blasting off atop an Atlas 5 rocket on Jan. 19, 2006. After ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), operated by NASA, has uncovered intriguing new details about Charon—Pluto’s largest moon—including the presence of previously undetected surface chemicals. This ...

Over the past decade, researchers have been puzzling through Pluto’s mysteries. Meanwhile, the New Horizons probe heads for interstellar space.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have peered deep into one of the Milky Way's most radiation-intense star-forming regions, revealing that Earth-like planets can form even ...

RIT researchers will be co-investigators on nine of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Cycle 4 programs set to begin in early July.

The exoplanet, a planet beyond our solar system, has been dubbed TWA 7b after NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured evidence of it.

While the new study marks the first time the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a new exoplanet through direct imaging, the observatory confirmed an earlier discovery of a potential ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first exoplanet, TWA 7b, which is also the lightest exoplanet ever to be directly imaged.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured its first direct image of a previously unknown exoplanet — a planet that orbits outside the solar system.

The leading JWST image clearly shows the galactic outflow winds from the galaxy's center. They're driven by the abundant formation of massive stars, and by supernova explosions.

An international team of researchers has examined 111 JWST images of distant edge-on galaxies, ones where the alignments enabled the researchers to observe the galaxies' vertical disk structures.

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered its first exoplanet, astronomers said Wednesday, capturing rare direct images of the relatively small world in Earth's galactic backyard.
