Webb’s exquisite details reveal a chance, random alignment of a protostellar outflow and a distant spiral galaxy. When we ...

A 'cosmic coincidence' leads to one of the most amazing images ever captured by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope.

NASA's retired Spitzer Space Telescope captured the same shot in 2006, with scientists then dubbing the stellar jet “the cosmic tornado.” But it was too fuzzy to make out the background galaxy ...

Now, the James Webb Space Telescope has solved this mystery. On January 12, 2006, astronomers scanning a nearby star-forming region with the Spitzer Space Telescope captured a image of an odd ...

When NASA's now-retired Spitzer Space Telescope first observed Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) in 2006, scientists dubbed it the "Cosmic Tornado" due to its spiral-like appearance. However ...

When NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope observed the space spectacle in 2006, scientists nicknamed Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) the “Cosmic Tornado” for its helical appearance ...

Spitzer's images of NGC 300 OT ended when they faded below the detection threshold of this NASA space telescope, which retired in 2020. Just as Holmes made his name investigating many cases ...

NASA's latest discovery once again proves how incredible space is. A collision between a spiral galaxy and a jet from a young star has been witnessed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a ...

Astronomers, using the James Webb Space Telescope, captured the first direct images of Neptune's auroras, revealing light shows previously believed to exist but unseen. These auroras appear at ...

Europe's Gaia space telescope was powered down and sent into "retirement" on Thursday after a decade revealing the secrets of the Milky Way, but its observations will fuel discoveries for decades ...

For the first time, the James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT) has revealed bright auroral activity on the planet Neptune. Capturing the auroral activity on the ice giant has been long in coming ...
