Webb Telescope Sees Two of the Most Ancient Galaxies Yet

In late June, the Webb Space Telescope trained its eye on two of the farthest galaxies seen to date. The galaxies existed several hundred million years after the Big Bang, making them some of the earliest light sources to emerge in the universe.

Webb Telescope Reveals Noxious Atmosphere of a Planet 700 Light-Years Away

Astrophysicists on Earth are no strangers to WASP-39b, an exoplanet orbiting a star about 700 light-years from Earth, though they’ve never actually seen it directly. Now, the Webb Space Telescope has offered fresh insight into this distant world: Its observations have revealed the recipe list...

Webb Telescope Turns Its Eye on Saturn's Mysterious Moon Titan

The Webb Space Telescope snapped images of Saturn’s moon Titan last month, which are now released for our viewing pleasure. The images offer a newly detailed view of Titan’s atmospheric makeup and even elements of its strange surface.

Photographing a planet outside of our solar system is nothing short of amazing.

I can’t even fathom how you just “remove the light from the nearest star” to the planet.

How’s that for a project to be tasked with?

Program Dir @ JWST: “Yeah, we’re gonna need you to come up with a way to filter out the brightest of an infinite number of minuscule light sources so we can photograph a planet that is 36 million light years away. And if you could have that to me by Friday, that would be great.”


I can’t even keep the sun out of my eyes.

Not Webb related but I’ll put this here
===========================
Every planet in the solar system was visible in the night sky simultaneously on Wednesday, which is regarded by experts as a rare astronomical event.

Venus, Mercury, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars could all be seen in that order in the northern hemisphere with the naked eye, starting from the south-western horizon and moving east.

Uranus, located between Mars and Jupiter, and Neptune, which is between Saturn and Jupiter, can be seen with binoculars or a telescope until the end of the year.

All eight planets appeared only 1.5 degrees apart on Wednesday night and were set to reach conjunction – their closest point – on Thursday at 2100 GMT.

The planets can be spotted low in the west, with the clearest view expected to be about 30 minutes after sunset, with Venus disappearing about 40 minutes later, each day until the end of the year………

In the northern hemisphere five planets can be seen by the naked eye, and Uranus and Neptune with a telescope or binoculars

I tried seeing all the planets, but Uranus was in the way.

Yeh, it was like a black hole in the sky....

Yeh, it was like a black hole in the sky....

I couldn't see through all the gas. And so forth.

Well, the sun don't shine there. So yeah.

From South Korean craft Danuri
========================

Danuri, South Korea’s first ever spacecraft to orbit the Moon, has sent back stunning images of the lunar surface and the Earth beyond.

The spacecraft – which has the official name of Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter, but is better known as Danuri – left Earth on board a SpaceX rocket in August. It has been travelling towards the Moon ever since……

Hadn’t it been a long while since they’ve released any Webb pics?

What’s up with that?

Look at those shoddy CGI footprints. All the money must've went to Avatar 2. Sarcasm off.

Galaxies shockingly similar to our own appear to have been found near the beginning of the universe.

The discovery was made by scientists using Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope, which is able to look deep into the history of the cosmos.

As scientists did, they found galaxies with “stellar bars”. Those are long features of stars that reach from the middle of galaxies out into their furthest discs.

Those galaxies were around when the universe was just 25 per cent of its current age, the researchers said.

Such barred galaxies have been seen before, in our own Milky Way. But seeing them this early on in the development of the cosmos will need a rewriting of our galaxies of how galaxies evolve.

The extra detail of the JWST appears to have been the breakthrough required to see early galaxies in enough detail to detect those bars.

Previous observations by the Hubble Space Telescope showed the galaxy EGS-23205 to be an intriguing smudge – but new images from JWST show it as a precise swirl with extending bars……..
