NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb's First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is ...

Dr. Caitlin Casey, an observational astronomer, has recently joined the physics department at UC Santa Barbara. She co-leads the C.O.S.M.O.S. collaboration — a project distinguished by its deep ...

When it comes to telescopes, there are no bigger names than Hubble and Webb, but why have two space telescopes anyway, how ...

The focal point of Webb's deep field image is a large, bright cluster of galaxies known as SMACS 0723, which sits about 4.6 billion light-years from Earth — meaning the light we see here was ...

Let’s look at the deep field in detail. Everything that has six bright spokes is a star in our galaxy. The true star of the image is a massive group of galaxies as it appeared when the universe ...

Astronomers have released the latest JWST deep field image showing three massive clusters of galaxies on their way to forming a “mega cluster”, and never-before-seen details of the region of ...

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field was first imaged in the early 2000s. Now, JWST set its sights back on the target to find new hints of galactic evolution.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a breathtaking new deep field image of the galaxy cluster Abell S1063, surpassing Hubble’s previous view in both depth and detail. Abell S1063 ...

Astronomers peered into a James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) image. From this view of the deep Universe, they saw a large number of ancient galaxy candidates.

A team of astronomers have put together the largest, most detailed map of the universe ever created – and you can explore it ...
