"We are literally mapping the entire celestial sky in 102 infrared colors for the first time in humanity's history." ...

The James Webb Space Telescope captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen using infrared technology, and creating a time lapse of the phenomena.

What’s more, Webb used its Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) instrument to observe glowing interstellar gas and dust illuminated by a supernova explosion approximately 350 years ago. The material glows in ...

This wisp had been identified as a light echo by NASA's now-retired Spitzer space telescope. But Spitzer didn't have the resolution of JWST. Even so, "we were pretty shocked to see this level of ...

Using NASA's space-based Chandra X-ray Observatory and the retired Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered "danger zones" for planets that are forming around young stars. The team ...

Sometimes, scientists get lucky: In 2012, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope grabbed an image of lacy interstellar medium illuminated by Zeta Ophiuchi, a large star roughly 370 light-years away.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning new details of the Cartwheel Galaxy, uncovering insights into star formation and its central black hole. This vibrant portrait of our Milky Way ...

The Hubble is just one of NASA's orbiting "great observatories." The group also includes the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. Spitzer is an infrared orbiting telescope ...

The recently observed glowing material, not related to the star that turned into Cassiopeia A, exists among dozens of other nearby light echoes that had first been observed by NASA's Spitzer Space ...

Jencson (Caltech/IPAC) The researchers targeted a light echo that had previously been observed by NASA's retired Spitzer Space Telescope. It is one of dozens of light echoes seen near the ...

Scientists targeted a light echo previously observed by NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope, and it is one of dozens found near remains of the Cassiopeia A supernova. The Webb images show ...
