I still think the Trappist system is one of our best chances at discovering life.

As far as what we can detect, yep. It's crazy to think that all of the planets are so close to their star.

Joe Scott has a great video on “eyeball” planets that shows how and where life may have formed on those planets really close to their sun.

Not the Webb but cool nonetheless

The Euclid space telescope has beamed back its first images in a mission that promises to lift a veil on the “dark universe”.

The €1bn (£850m) European Space Agency (Esa) mission is focused on dark matter and dark energy, which together make up 95% of the universe but their natures are almost entirely mysterious.

The first images show the Perseus galaxy cluster and Horsehead nebula in dazzling detail and capture approximately 100,000 galaxies in a single snapshot, showcasing the telescope’s unmatched ability to make razor-sharp observations across a vast expanse of space.

Ultimately the telescope, which can detect galaxies out to 10bn light years, is aiming to create the largest cosmic 3D map ever made. This will allow astronomers to infer the large-scale distribution of dark matter and reveal the influence of dark energy in the early universe.

Dark matter pervades the universe and acts as a cosmic glue that holds galaxies together, while dark energy is the name given to an enigmatic force that is thought to be accelerating the expansion of the universe.…..

James Webb Space Telescope watches infant galaxies bringing light to the early universe

"The stars in these young galaxies were remarkable, producing just the right amount of radiation to excite the surrounding gas. This gas, in turn, shone even brighter than the stars themselves."

Stunning and breathtaking.

Scientists using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope made a breakthrough discovery in revealing how planets are made. By observing water vapour in protoplanetary disks, Webb confirmed a physical process involving the drifting of ice-coated solids from the outer regions of the disk into the rocky-planet zone.…

James Webb telescope finds an 'extreme' glow coming from 90% of the earliest galaxies in the universe

The universe's early galaxies are way brighter than they should be. The James Webb Space Telescope's discovery of brightly glowing gas around 90% of primordial galaxies may explain why.

Nasa’s James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a “fluffy” planet with an atmosphere made up of a collection of intriguing materials.

The planet has a similar water and cloud cycle to that of our own Earth. But the clouds are made of sand and the clouds are made of silicate.

Other parts of the atmosphere are more like our own and could be an intriguing hint of the telescope’s ability to investigate planets that might be home to distant alien life.

Data gathered using the telescope revealed that WASP-107b - a planet 200 lightyears away that orbits a star in the constellation of Virgo - has a dynamic atmosphere made up of water vapour, sulphur dioxide, and sand clouds…….

Webb telescope images show an unprecedented and 'chaotic' view of the center of our galaxy

NASA just revealed some gorgeous images culled from the James Webb telescope, showing the center of the Milky Way galaxy in all of its crowded and chaotic glory. Researchers plan to use this data to test current theories of star formation.

After 2 years in space, the James Webb telescope has broken cosmology. Can it be fixed?

For decades, measurements of the universe's expansion have suggested a disparity known as the Hubble tension, which threatens to break cosmology as we know it. Now, on the eve of its second anniversary, a new finding by the James Webb Space Telescope has only entrenched the mystery.
