The James Webb Space Telescope has captured its first direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet outside the solar system in HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years away that has long been a ...

For years, astronomers have sought a way to directly observe the atmospheres of exoplanets, worlds orbiting distant stars.

"We have observed giant gas planets, such as Jupiter or Saturn, but in another solar system," explains the leader of this research on the HR 8799 system, located 130 light-years away. The study ...

Giant Exoplanets in HR 8799 System Likely Formed Like Jupiter and Saturn The first exoplanet was discovered in the 1990s, but ...

Webb’s latest discovery has opened a thrilling new chapter in exoplanet research by capturing the first-ever direct images of ...

NASA's Webb telescope has captured images of multiple planets in a nearby star system, confirming that Webb can infer exoplanet atmospheres' chemistry.

The James Webb Space Telescope detected carbon dioxide directly on exoplanets for the first time. This allows the formation of planets to be reconstructed.

Since those early steps, extravehicular activity has helped provide the solutions to many problems that astronauts face in ...

New James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) images show the first carbon dioxide-containing planet discovered outside of Earth’s ...

The Blue Ghost spacecraft, named for a species of firefly, took eclipse chasing to new heights. Not only did it see the Earth block the Sun from an unexplored location on the Moon, but the lander fell ...

The James Webb Space Telescope is a collaborative effort between NASA, the European Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. Unlike the Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits around the Earth, Webb ...

New images of the infant universe captured by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) are the most precise "baby pictures" to ...
