Can JWST tell the difference between an exoEarth and an exoVenus?
As of October 2023, astronomers have discovered 5,506 exoplanets orbiting other stars. That number is growing daily, and astronomers are hoping, among other things, to find Earth-like worlds. But will we know one when we see it? How might we be able.....»»

JWST detects carbon dioxide in a centaur for the first time
A study published Nov. 6 in The Planetary Science Journal examines how NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has conducted a first-time detection of carbon dioxide in a centaur, this one designated 39P/Oterma. A centaur is a small planetary body t.....»»
Supermassive black hole found only half a billion years after Big Bang

New Webb images show gas-rich baby galaxies setting the early universe alight
New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have helped Australian astronomers unlock secrets of how infant galaxies started an explosion of star formation in the very early universe......»»
The JWST Has Spotted Giant Black Holes All Over the Early Universe
Giant black holes were supposed to be bit players in the early cosmic story. But James Webb Space Telescope observations are finding an unexpected abundance of the beasts......»»
Men less likely than women to share negative information, says study
A new study from Carnegie Mellon University, Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), and Bocconi University has found that men are less eager and likely to share negative information than women, while there was little difference when it comes to posit.....»»
Does Apple’s ‘anodization seal’ on the space black MacBook Pro actually reduce fingerprints?
While the new MacBook Pro in space black is getting a lot of attention, Apple actually started its march toward darker-shaded laptops . One key difference, however, is that Apple claims the space black color on the MacBook Pro solves the fingerprint.....»»
JWST takes a detailed look at Jupiter"s moon Ganymede
Nature doesn't conform to our ideas of neatly-contained categories. Many things in nature blur the lines we try to draw around them. That's true of Jupiter's moon Ganymede, the largest moon in the solar system.....»»
New research sheds light on early galaxy formation
Researchers have developed a new computer simulation of the early universe that closely aligns with observations made by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)......»»

Astronomers want JWST to study the Milky Way core for hundreds of hours
To understand the universe, we need to understand the extreme processes that shape it and drive its evolution. Things like supermassive black holes (SMBHs,) supernovae, massive reservoirs of dense gas, and crowds of stars both on and off the main seq.....»»
Physics has long failed to explain life—but researchers are testing a groundbreaking new theory in the lab
Modern physics can explain everything from the spin of the tiniest particle to the behavior of entire galaxy clusters. But it can't explain life. There's simply no formula to explain the difference between a living lump of matter and a dead one. Life.....»»
