Circle Strafe NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a tiny moon orbiting Uranus, expanding the number of the planet’s known satellites to 29. In early February, the space observatory’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) caught the minuscule and still-unnamed object orbiting the gas giant at a distance of 35,000 miles. “It’s a small moon but a significant discovery, which is something …
Read More »NEW YORK (AP) — The Webb Space Telescope has spotted a new tiny moon orbiting Uranus. The new member of the lunar gang, announced Tuesday by NASA, appears to be just six miles (10 kilometers) wide. It was spotted by the telescope’s near-infrared camera during observations in February. Scientists think it hid for so long — even eluding the Voyager …

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to uncover two groundbreaking findings: strong evidence of a potential Saturn-sized planet orbiting Alpha Centauri A, our closest Sun-like neighbor, and the discovery of a climate system on Pluto unlike anything else in our Solar System. The Alpha Centauri findings are detailed in two papers accepted by The Astrophysical Journal Letters, …

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have identified the earliest black hole found thus far, dating back to more than 13 billion years ago. The black hole and its home galaxy, together dubbed CAPERS-LRD-z9, existed just 500 million years after the Big Bang. Its properties could help researchers understand what the universe was like in that elusive early …
