In a research paper published today in Astronomy & Astrophysics, scientists have released the sharpest image ever of a black hole.
While the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has delivered many beautiful images, its primary mission is to probe the early Universe and help humanity solve some of the most significant questions it faces. Webb has delivered on this promise by revealing, for the first time, what is in the local environment of galaxies in the very earliest days of the Universe.

Hubble continues to generate some some outstanding visuals of space and its latest is no exception. However, as much as this photo looks like it portrays a densely packed region of galaxies, reality is not quite so straightforward.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing to launch a pair of satellites called the Proba-3 which will do what was previously thought impossible: block out the Sun in order to observe its corona for an extended period of time.
Fresh analysis of images taken by NASA's Voyager 2 probe has revealed that the planets Neptune and Uranus are actually far more similar in color than previously thought.
NASA has released a spellbinding 360-degree image of an ancient river found on Mars recorded by the space agency's Perseverance Rover.
NASA's Juno spacecraft has performed nearly 60 flybys of Jupiter and documented close encounters with three of the planet's four largest moons. Over the weekend, Juno made its closest flyby to the Jovian moon, Io, and it was the closest any spacecraft has come to the Jovian satellite in more than two decades.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has wrapped up its first full year of scientific operations, and beyond "breaking" cosmology, the telescope has also delivered some of the most spectacular photos of deep space ever seen.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is putting a cap on 2023 with a pair of new GIFs that show the Martian landscape over 12 hours from sunrise to sunset.
A competition aiming to promote astrophotography in India has borne out some incredible images.

Anyone who follows the solar system closely will know the Sun is extremely active at the moment and video has emerged of a huge explosion on the surface that has already affected radio communications on Earth.
Even as telescopes and observatories uncover more details about space, it remains mysterious. One puzzle revolves around the "smallest object that can form in a star-like manner," according to NASA. With the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have identified a new record holder for that category: a free-floating brown dwarf.
Although the Hubble Space Telescope has had a heck of a run, it cannot last forever. Astronomers have been planning for Hubble's retirement for many years, and a Canadian telescope called CASTOR may be the best candidate to fill the inevitable void in ultraviolet space exploration.
In April, the James Webb Space Telescope kick-started a new era of investigation into Cassiopeia A (Cas A), a prototypical supernova remnant that has been the subject of extensive study by numerous telescopes. Today, researchers shared another view of Cas A that has stunned astronomers.
