WASHINGTON—The detection of a highly compact galaxy that formed relatively soon after the Big Bang and displayed an impressive rate of star formation is the latest example of how the James Webb Space Telescope is reshaping our understanding of the early universe. Scientists said the galaxy, dating to 13.3 billion years ago, has a diameter…
Webb Space Telescope Captures Tarantula Nebula
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured thousands of never-before-seen young stars in the Tarantula Nebula, a stellar nursery called 30 Doradus. The young stars were previously shrouded from view by cosmic dust. Astronomers are using two of Webb’s spectrographs to take a closer look at this region and determine the chemical makeup of a…

Much-Delayed James Webb’s Long Journey to Launch
Scientists are targeting a launch no earlier than Dec. 24 for the much-delayed successor to Hubble, the next-generation James Webb Space Telescope. The telescope arrived at Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, in October, a significant hurdle on its long journey to launch. Launched in 1990, the Hubble telescope is showing more and more signs…
