The James Webb Space Telescope has produced the first-ever three-dimensional images of Uranus’s upper atmosphere, revealing a chaotic and shimmering world of infrared auroras.

"We found an unexpected chemical complexity, with abundances far higher than predicted by current theoretical models." ...

Woven through the universe are forces, often unseen, that dictate its grand design. For example, at the very heart of nearly ...

Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and an ice giant known for its striking blue-green color, caused by methane in its atmosphere. It rotates on its side with a 98-degree tilt, creating extreme ...

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory have captured the clearest image yet of a galaxy cluster in the making, seen when the universe was only one billion years old.

The telescope primarily detects light in the infrared in order to observe sources such as the first galaxies and protostars.

Observations of a distant quasar reveal that supermassive black holes may suppress star formation across intergalactic distances.

Astronomers have found growing evidence that runaway black holes are hurtling through galaxies at extreme speeds, leaving ...

Astronomers used James Webb Space Telescope data to determine the density of the universe's most mysterious "stuff." ...
