This celestial snapshot is not merely a striking vista of interstellar beauty; it is an infrared panorama that showcases, for the first time, hidden nurseries of star formation, which were previously shrouded in cosmic dust.

Some of the world's leading astronomers have been left 'really surprised' after discovering something new about the early days of the universe. Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which cost a staggering $10 billion (£8.05 billion), the international team came across the discovery using JWST's Near-InfraRed Camera (NIRCam).

JWST's surprise discovery of methane emissions and likely aurorae over a distant brown dwarf could indicate this "failed star" is orbited by an active moon.

The intriguing celestial panorama filled with what resembles ‘mountains’ and ‘valleys’ twinkling amidst starlight is in reality the border of NGC 3324, a nascent star-forming area within the expansive Carina Nebula.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is poised to investigate seven Earth-sized planets orbiting the TRAPPIST-1 star, 40 light years away, raising the hope of detecting signs of life beyond our solar system.

"These are the best Earth-sized planets for the James Webb Space Telescope to characterise, perhaps for its whole lifetime,” Hannah Wakeford, a postdoctoral fellow at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, previously said.

Seen in 2022, a gamma-ray burst (GRB) nicknamed the BOAT is believed to be the brightest explosion ever witnessed by humanity. But the James Webb Telescope’s search for its origins has only thrown up more questions.

In 'Deep Sky,' JWST comes to the really big screen with an abundance of data and no shortage of tears.

The James Webb Space Telescope captures a gamma-ray burst, GRB 230307A, and its kilonovas which is an explosion produced by a neutron star.
