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.

New research provides confirmation that the James Webb Space Telescope has identified some of the oldest galaxies yet, estimated to be 13.4 billion years old.

The JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) focused on the area in and around the Hubble Space Telescope’s Ultra Deep Field. Using Webb’s NIRCam instrument, scientists observed the ...

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 ...

But JWST’s deep field has thrown all this into doubt, revealing a universe that was making too much light too soon. We just do not know how to make that happen, Casey conceded.

Astronomers have discovered the earliest and most distant galaxies confirmed to date using data from the James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope captured light emitted by these galaxies more ...

A mosaic of 690 individual frames taken with the Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) covers an area of sky about eight times as large as JWST’s first deep ...

The two most distant galaxies, both detected in JWST images, have redshifts of 13.20 and 12.63, making them the most distant galaxies confirmed by spectroscopy to date. A redshift of 13.2 ...

Galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, known as Webb’s First Deep Field. NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO . It’s one of the deepest images of our universe that has ever been taken.
