James Webb Space Telescope

A planet with a striped pattern consisting of purple and tan bands, set against a backdrop of stars in the distant universe

Discovery marks the first detection of variable water clouds outside of our solar system

Artist's visualization of an early galaxy surrounded by blue-green gas, with orange streams of metal-enriched gas being expelled into intergalactic space

JWST finds early galaxies were already seeding the universe with heavy elements

a gray, cloudy disk seen from the side. From the center, winds of blue-white emerge. Behind is a starry background.

Planet formation is a 'race against time,' according to new U of A research

This artist's concept shows a galaxy with spiral arms populated densely by stars, shown in blue. A bright, glowing ball in the center pushes energetic gas and dust (shown in pink) that ripples across the dust, slamming into the star-forming spiral arms.

Cosmic blowtorches: How quasars shut down star formation in the early universe

This artist's illustrations shows a spiral galaxy swirling around a bright ball of light at its center. Jets of gas and energy shoot out of the center in both directions perpendicular to the galaxy's disk.

Cosmic predators: How supermassive black holes slow star growth in nearby galaxies

Artist's illustration of the TRAPPIST system shows the star as an orange glowing ball with four of its seven planets orbiting around it.

A new look at TRAPPIST-1e, an Earth-sized, habitable-zone exoplanet

Artist's concept of an giant gas planet in the foreground with a star, in this case Alpha Centauri A, in the distance.

Alpha Centauri, sun's closest stellar neighbor, likely harbors giant planet

In this artist's illustration of Earth's night sky in 3.75 billion years, Andromeda fills the field of view and begins to distort the Milky Way with tidal pull.

JADES galaxy

James Webb Space Telescope reveals unexpected complex chemistry in primordial galaxy

An artist's impression of a planet-forming disk, with its gas and dust illuminated in yellow and orange, swirling around a low-mass star.
