This first light, as it's called, shows that all of the spacecraft's systems are working just as expected. "Based on the images we are seeing, we can now say that the instrument team nailed it," Jamie Bock, SPHEREx’s principal investigator at Caltech and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said in a statement.

The space telescope's image of a odd-looking spiral galaxy is, in reality, two distant galaxies overlapping each other.

The Webb telescope — a scientific collaboration between NASA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency — is designed to peer into the deepest cosmos and reveal new insights about the early universe. It's also examining intriguing planets in our galaxy, along with the planets and moons in our solar system.

The rare cosmic phenomenon, called an Einstein ring, occurs when massive objects can bend light due to their gravitational influence. The post James Webb Space Telescope image shows one galaxy hiding behind another appeared first on Talker.

The powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has just completed the first of two planned observations of the infamous "city-killer" asteroid 2024 YR4, which will make a perilously close approach ...

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured the first detailed images of asteroid 2024 YR4, providing new insights into its size, surface material, and heat patterns. Initially considered a potential threat,

The Webb Space Telescope has captured a plume of gas and dust streaming from a star in the making, with a spiral galaxy as a stunning backdrop.

Uncover the insights gained from the Webb telescope about early galaxies and their role in illuminating the universe.

A newborn star, a blast of glowing gas, and a distant spiral galaxy — all caught in one stunning snapshot by the James Webb Space Telescope. This rare cosmic overlap forms a swirling, colorful image that blends science with art,
