The James Webb Space Telescope captured photos of one of the earliest supernovas ever seen using infrared technology, and creating a time lapse of the phenomena.

There is a lot of complicated but beautiful physics in understanding how this explosion takes place,” says Purdue University astronomer Danny Milisavljevic, who led the team behind the JWST images.

This wisp had been identified as a light echo by NASA's now-retired Spitzer space telescope. But Spitzer didn't have the ...

Sometimes, scientists get lucky: In 2012, NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope grabbed an image of lacy interstellar medium illuminated by Zeta Ophiuchi, a large star roughly 370 light-years away.

Using NASA's space-based Chandra X-ray Observatory and the retired Spitzer Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered "danger zones" for planets that are forming around young stars. The team ...

The Godzilla Nebula is a cloud of gas and dust in the constellation Sagittarius that was imaged by NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope. The star cluster Pismis 24 lies within the much larger emission ...

The light echoes were first detected by NASA's retired Spitzer Space Telescope, but Webb's high-resolution imaging has provided clearer views of these cosmic phenomena. The echoes result from a ...

Jencson (Caltech/IPAC) The researchers targeted a light echo that had previously been observed by NASA's retired Spitzer Space Telescope. It is one of dozens of light echoes seen near the ...

Scientists targeted a light echo previously observed by NASA’s retired Spitzer Space Telescope, and it is one of dozens found near remains of the Cassiopeia A supernova. The Webb images show ...
