Using NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have taken the closest and clearest look yet at one of the most extreme places in our galaxy—a star-forming region called Sagittarius C.

The cluster, full of more than 2,500 newborn stars that blaze blue in the Hubble image, is in a galaxy with far fewer heavy chemical substances than the Milky Way. It's mostly made of hydrogen and ...

The researchers confirmed that two enormous stars, each more than 20 times the mass of the sun, are growing inside ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered the most distant quiescent galaxy ever seen – one that had ...

Explore how the Webb telescope reveals a massive black hole from the early universe living in a dormant state for most of its ...

A team of astronomers at the University of Milano-Bicocca has uncovered a colossal spiral galaxy that existed just 2 billion ...

Webb first observed the region called Sagittarius C in 2023. Now researchers are now using those observations to study star formation in the wider area around the center of the Milky Way, known as the ...

Researchers interrogated the 'sounds' of a cluster of stars within the Milky Way, uncovering a new technique for astrophysicists to probe the universe and learn more about its evolution.

Stars are the architects of nearly all the chemical elements in the universe, including ones crucial to life as we know it, ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope to look back in time have found the earliest evidence of the universe ...

But this notion is now challenged by a new study, led by astronomers at the Cosmic Dawn Center (DAWN) at the Niels Bohr Institute and DTU Space. Investigating one of the most distant galaxies, the ...

NASA 's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the earliest evidence of light shining through the cosmos. But the fact that ...
