Researchers detected evidence of 'dinosaur-like' stars in a GS 3073 galaxy, around 12.7 billion light years away from Earth.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope report that a powerful gamma-ray burst detected in March may have been produced by the explosion of a massive star just 730 million years after the Big ...

If not in visible stars and galaxies, the most likely hiding place for the matter is in the dark space between galaxies.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is allowing astronomers to examine distant galaxies in the far reaches of the early universe for the first time. Some of these have chemical signatures that seem ...

Astronomers studying a distant galaxy using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have found the best candidates yet for the universe’s first stars. These so-called Population III stars arose shortly ...

"We really needed the sensitivity of JWST. We also needed the 100 times magnification from gravitational lensing from a galaxy cluster between us and LAP1-B." When you purchase through links on our ...

Scientists have released a new study that catalogues the universe by mapping huge clusters of galaxies. These clusters are some of the largest known objects in the universe — and they can help ...
