The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a remarkable discovery to expand the understanding of the origins of water and planetary formation. By detecting frozen water in a distant protoplanetary disk located 1,300 light-years away in the Orion Nebula, JWST has unlocked new possibilities for life beyond our Solar System.The detection of frozen water…
The James Webb Space Telescope has detected carbon dioxide and hydrogen peroxide on Pluto‘s largest moon Charon. Using the telescope astronomers have uncovered new insights into the composition of the moon with their results published in Nature Communications.NASA‘s earlier research using the New Horizons spacecraft revealed that the Charon’s surface consists of crystalline water ice,…

The…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has reached a significant milestone with its recent observation of the Serpens Nebula. On June 20, 2024, Webb captured an unprecedented phenomenon: aligned protostar outflows from baby stars. This groundbreaking image showcases jets of gas emanating from these newborn stars, all oriented in the same direction.The alignment of these outflows,…
Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a component of water on the metal-rich asteroid Psyche, suggesting the presence of rust. This finding could provide insights into the asteroid’s formation. Psyche: A unique asteroid in the main belt Asteroid 16 Psyche, located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, is…
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a groundbreaking discovery by identifying the earliest galaxy ever observed, named JADES-GS-z14-0. This galaxy formed approximately 290 million years after the Big Bang and is distinguished by its exceptionally bright light, which is attributed to intense star formation. The observation was made using JWST’s Near InfraRed Spectrograph…
