NASA has recorded extensive "light pollution" in images from orbital observatories. Up to 96% of images from some space telescopes can be distorted by light from satellites in low Earth orbit.
The Chilean telescope managed to capture an exceptionally beautiful and clear image of the 'Butterfly' Nebula, located in the constellation Scorpius.
Scientists have discovered a new exoplanet GJ 251c, located 18 light-years from the Solar System, which may have liquid water. This super-Earth orbits the red dwarf Gliese 251, which is located in the "habitable zone."
NASA scientists, using the TESS satellite and the James Webb Space Telescope, have discovered exoplanet WD 1856+534b, which is larger than Jupiter and located in a "forbidden zone" around a dying star. This planet, 5.8 billion years old, is located 82 light-years from Earth and is the coldest exoplanet ever directly observed.
Astronomers have discovered an object called Capotaur, which may be the oldest galaxy, having emerged 90 million years after the Big Bang. If confirmed, this discovery will change our understanding of the formation of the Universe.
NASA has discovered the planet TOI-1846 b, which is almost twice the size of Earth and four times more massive, emitting a repeating signal. The planet orbits a red dwarf every four days, causing a strange dip in light.
The James Webb Telescope has captured the process of star formation in the Cat's Paw Nebula (NGC 6334), 4000 light-years away from Earth. Infrared images revealed young star clusters and gas-dust structures, providing a deeper understanding of star birth.
The James Webb Telescope has taken the first direct image of the exoplanet TWA 7 b, which is the smallest in mass of all those observed directly. This discovery demonstrates the capabilities of the telescope and allows the study of the formation of planetary systems at an early stage of development.
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that planets can form even in the harshest radiation environments of the Milky Way. This discovery expands our understanding of potential locations for the emergence of life, showing that protoplanetary disks are capable of existing and evolving despite intense UV radiation.
Scientists have discovered semi-heavy water ice near a young star similar to the Sun for the first time. This confirms that some of the water in the Solar System may have formed before the Sun was born.
Galaxy J0107a, which existed 11. 1 billion years ago, has been discovered. It is 10 times more massive than the Milky Way and has a bar, but was formed without merging with other galaxies.
Scientists have obtained an enlarged image of Jupiter's poles with an aurora that is 100 times brighter than Earth's. The planet's magnetic field captures particles from the satellite Io and the solar wind.
The Webb Telescope discovered giant black holes with masses of billions of Suns in the early Universe. Canadian scientists suggest that their formation before the first stars was facilitated by dark matter.
