NASA’s Next-Level Discovery: Webb Exposes Dazzling Interstellar Web of Dust

James Webb Space Telescope Just Spotted Something Astronomers Have Never Seen in our Solar System - The Debrief

Scientists have classified a novel category of exoplanets spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope that appear to have no equivalent in our solar system. This newly proposed category of exoplanet, dubbed “Super Venus,” has often frustrated researchers due to its combination of properties that land it somewhere between Earth and Neptune. A team of researchers believes their analysis of data captured by the JWST and complex computer simulations h…

NASA’s Next-Level Discovery: Webb Exposes Dazzling Interstellar Web of Dust

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured the infrared glow of an ancient supernova’s light echo, revealing unprecedented 3D details of interstellar dust and gas. The space between stars is filled with gas and dust, varying from dense to sparse, and often hidden from view unless illuminated. In the constellation Cassiopeia, a supernova flash has [...]

A Light Echo From a Supernova Has Illuminated Interstellar Gas and Dust

Learn about the thermal light echo, observed by NASA, that causes intricate layers of interstellar gas and dust to emit an infrared glow.

Centuries-old supernova guides James Webb Space Telescope through an interstellar gap

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured the first exquisite images of an interstellar patch of sky, about 11,000 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.
