James Webb data reveal pristine gas irradiated by energetic light some 450 million years after the Big Bang -- a sign it may house primordial stars.

JWST captured a dying star wrapped in mysterious buckyballs, revealing complex carbon-rich shells that astronomers say offer rare insight into stellar endings.

A mysterious cosmic explosion has astronomers buzzing, as a strange event may hint at an entirely new kind of stellar cataclysm. After detecting ripples in space-time, scientists spotted a fast-fading red glow that initially looked like a rare ...

NASA's SPHEREx mapped water ice across vast regions of the galaxy, confirming that an essential molecule for life on Earth abounds in space.

Spy satellite hardware has been repurposed to scan the Universe in the infrared.

They named it after NASA's first chief astronomer, and the person who was perhaps the most instrumental in the creation of the mighty Hubble, and it is without doubt the biggest news in astronomy since the launch of the James Webb. And now, we have ...

After ten years of building a simulation model, astronomers say they've created a synthetic, or virtual, universe that mirrors our own.

Western University researchers have released a striking new image of the planetary nebula Tc 1, offering fresh insight into the cosmic origins of "buckyballs," spherical carbon molecules first detected in space by the same team 15 years ago.
