The Wolf-Rayet star will soon die, but it’s not yet gone supernova.
The precious data from the cutting-edge space telescope is only digestible thanks to the creative work of the image processing team.
The space observatory saw three galaxy clusters coming together to form a megacluster.
A communications delay timed out the instrument’s flight software, and some planned observations will have to be rescheduled, NASA says.
The $10 billion observatory didn’t collect many images in December, due to a now-resolved software issue.
The NEO Surveyor project has cleared a NASA review, but the space telescope will cost upwards of $1.2 billion to build and not launch until 2028.
The moon's clouds and a bit of its surface are visible in new views from the space-based observatory.
The space observatory’s most recent image shows a star’s preamble in the nearby universe.
We have a much more interesting view of dwarf galaxy Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte, thanks to Webb’s imaging powers.
The Webb team had to pause observations in the medium-resolution spectroscopy mode after a problem arose in late August.
The iconic arms of the Eagle Nebula are zombie-skin blue in this view from the MIRI tool.
At this rate, the infrared space observatory is going to need a vacation.
The event marked the first time that Hubble and Webb simultaneously observed the same object.
The Webb team has paused observations using the medium-resolution spectroscopy mode after detecting "increased friction."
Webb turned its infrared gaze on the Martian surface and atmosphere.
The space agency translated the data points in Webb’s first images into sound, a process known as sonification.
Humans can't see infrared light, so what makes Webb Space Telescope images so dazzling?
The long-awaited image is a luminous look at ancient galaxies magnified by warped spacetime.
NASA will release the rest of this first batch of images tomorrow morning.
The telescope team is releasing the long-awaited pictures on Tuesday, July 12.
