The James Webb Space Telescope has taken things to the extreme, studying the outer edge of our own galaxy, the Milky Way and producing a stunning new image.

The galactic duo lies about 465 million light-years from Earth. The post James Webb Space Telescope captures ‘cosmic smile’ of galaxies colliding appeared first on Talker.

The Webb telescope — a scientific collaboration between NASA, ESA, and the Canadian Space Agency — is designed to peer into the deepest cosmos and reveal new insights about the early universe. But it's also examining intriguing planets in our galaxy, along with the planets and moons in our solar system.

The James Webb Space Telescope has imaged a collision between two galaxies that appears to have created a beaming smile in space.

The James Webb Space Telescope has recorded spectacular images of star formation in the extreme outer reaches of the Milky Way. Here's a look.

Ditsö`, also known as WASP-17 b, orbits a star 1,300 light-years from Earth. One side of the planet is perpetually locked so that it faces the star and is thus permanently illuminated as the dayside. That half of the planet reaches temperatures of 1,773 K (1,500 °C), according to Hannah Wakeford, an astrophysicist at the University of Bristol.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered that supermassive black holes can exhaust the resources necessary for star formation in their host galaxies, effectively starving them.

NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI Two galaxies are converging in the constellation Leo Minor, and based on a new image from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, they're pretty pleased with their merger-in-progress.
