Astronomers have detected the hungriest black hole in the early universe with the help of Chandra X-ray Observatory and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). It has been found that the black hole ...

The new Webb observations involve a supermassive black hole called LID-568 that existed when the cosmos was about 11% its current age - about 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang event 13.8 billion ...

Research indicates that the James Webb Space Telescope could help confirm the presence of life-supporting atmospheres on exoplanets in the "Goldilocks zone," enhancing the likelihood of discovering ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers have observed a giant spiral galaxy designated ADF22.A1.

From its halo-like orbit nearly a million miles from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope is seeing farther than human eyes ...

Astronomers have discovered a black hole in the early universe that is consuming matter at an astonishing rate—more than 40 ...
