Researchers led by Kristen McQuinn of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to investigate Leo P, an isolated dwarf galaxy located 5.3 million light-years from Earth.

But as awe-inspiring as these solar eruptions are, they also carry potential dangers for technology and astronauts in space – and even here on Earth.

Identified as Sculptor A, B, and C, these galaxies are known for their faintness. They form part of a galaxy cluster around NGC 300.

Scientists developed a highly accurate optical ion clock, improving time measurement precision by 1,000 times.

Two stars in Wolf-Rayet 140 collide, forming carbon-rich dust. Webb captured 17 expanding dust shells, revealing life-building secrets.

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT) in Chile, scientists have detected supersonic jetstream winds hurtling around the planet’s equator at astonishing speeds of 33,000 km/h (20,500 mph).

These ripples, imprinted on the Martian surface, speak to a time when shallow bodies of water were open to the Martian air.

Instead of finding the radio burst in a region of young stars, researchers traced its origin to the outskirts of a “dead” elliptical galaxy.

Swarm satellites detect faint ocean magnetic signals, revealing magma distribution and climate change insights.

As the first hominin species to spread out of Africa, they demonstrated levels of adaptability and perseverance that was previously underestimated by the scientific community.
