Science and technology, explained simply
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a picture of a glowing cloud surrounding a newborn star, Space.com reports. This is the so-called Herbig-Aro object, which is formed when stellar wind and gas jets burst out of newborn stars, causing shock waves. They crash at high speeds into the gas and dust from which the […]
Just 22 light-years away, orbiting a small red dwarf star, there is a tiny world that scientists from the United States have confirmed is the closest known Earth-sized world to our solar system. It is called LTT 1445 Ac, an exoplanet with a mass 1.37 times that of the Earth and 1.07 times the radius […]
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed the result of a collision between two galaxies that took place half a billion years ago, space.com reports. What is known As a result of the collision of two galaxies 500 million years ago, a new galaxy was born. It is called NGC 3256 and is located at […]
The James Webb Telescope has received new images of the galaxy NGC 7469. This galaxy with an active black hole at its center is ideally located for observation — its entire plane is extended toward Earth. But the special Christmas charm of the picture was given by the image defects caused by the stretching of […]
As the researchers emphasize, the images reveal complex details of the formation of stars and planetary systems. The James Webb Telescope was hard at work this weekend studying the amazing inner region of the Orion Nebula, Inverse reports. Orion is a constellation in the night sky that can be identified by a ‘belt’ of three […]
The James Webb Space Telescope of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) of the United States was used by astronomers for the first time to obtain images of a planet outside the Solar System. The announcement was published on the official website of the aerospace department. ‘For the first time, astronomers used NASA’s James […]
