Scientists have fused captures of the Pillars of Creation taken by the near-infrared and mid-infrared instruments on board the James Webb Space Telescope to show the star-forming region of space like never before.
A mechanical issue that took the James Webb Space Telescope's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) offline on August 24 has been resolved and the camera has resumed full operation.
It's not just Hubble that's getting into the Halloween spirit. The James Webb Space Telescope team has released a new mid-infrared photo of the Pillars of Creation, a view that "strikes a chilling tone."
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 (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 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 its first direct image of a planet outside the Solar System. This exoplanet is a gas giant that has six to 12 times the mass of Jupiter and is relatively young: between 15 and 20 million years old.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) team has translated some of the telescope's first photos into music. Called sonification, the goal is to make the JWST's image and data understandable through sound to help listeners create their own mental images.
A team of scientists has leveraged the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to produce a massive mosaic of space made up of 690 photos. The image covers an area of the sky about eight times as large as the telescope's first deep field image released on July 12.
NOVA, a PBS award-winning science series, has premiered a new special that chronicles the James Webb Space Telescope's journey into space through the capture of its first incredible photos.
NASA has finally published the first colorized, full-resolution photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope and the detail and resolution of the images is incredible, especially when compared to the images of these same cosmic objects captured by Hubble.
NASA has shared all five of the first full-color photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope which demonstrate the full power of its imaging capability and officially kicks off its mission to unfold the infrared universe.
NASA has revealed the cosmic objects that will be shown when it releases the first full-color photos captured by the James Webb Space Telescope on July 12.
NASA has released a new image that was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope's Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS), the tool the observatory finds and locks onto targets, which provides a glimpse of the telescope's incredible imaging prowess.
NASA has announced that the Mid-Infrared Instrument, or MIRI, the second of the James Webb Space Telescope's four primary scientific instruments, has concluded its preparations and is ready to start capturing the universe.
One of the James Webb Space Telescope's key instruments that will allow it to see some of the first galaxies that ever formed has passed a critical milestone. The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) has reached an operating temperature of minus 447 degrees Fahrenheit.
