The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a new celestial image that depicts two objects, described as "glowing clumps," that are found around some newborn stars.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb) has captured a massive and stunningly detailed photo of the Pillars of Creation, a celestial region that gives birth to new stars.
A fascinating new image captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captures 17 dust rings that resemble a fingerprint created by a rare type of star.
Even though the James Webb Space Telescope tends to steal the space-themed headlines lately, the Hubble Space Telescope is still capturing incredible photos of the universe, including this galactic pair that are so close to one another that they are distorted by each other's gravity.
X-ray data from NASA's Chandra Observatory has been combined with the infrared data captured by the James Webb Space Telescope to create new composites that make the most of each's data gathering capabilities.
The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope both managed to capture detailed images of the impact of the planetary defense Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART). It is the first time that Webb and Hubble have simultaneously observed the same celestial target.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a mid-infrared image of the spiral galaxy IC 5332, which shows an entirely different view compared to what Hubble is able to see of the same region.
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a photo of Neptune that displays the clearest view of the planet's rings in more than 30 years.
NASA has paused the use of one of the modes on the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) due to what it describes as "increased friction" that occurs during its setup phase ahead of new observations.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning mosaic image of the Tarantula Nebula that stretches 240 light-years across and includes tens of thousands of never-before-seen young stars that were not visible with previous telescopes.
One of the first five photos to be taken by the James Webb Space Telescope is being used by malicious actors to spread malware, as identified by securities analytics platform Securonix.
