The Knife Edge Galaxy is located some 50 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Draco, according to NASA. NGC 5907's spiral form is oriented edge-on to our planet, granting it a sharp, ...

New images suggest the Vera C. Rubin Observatory is on track to become astronomy’s most ambitious and productive eye on the ...

Astronomers have directed NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to examine the outskirts of our Milky Way galaxy. Scientists call this region the Extreme Outer Galaxy due to its location more than ...

Shown in unprecedented resolution, Webb's imagery has enabled scientists to better study star formation in the outer Milky Way, astronomer Natsuko Izumi, who led a study with the latest findings ...

However, the advanced Webb Space Telescope, whose Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) can detect infrared light, has clearly captured the young stars forming in the outer ring of the galaxy.

The "Extreme Outer Galaxy" is located over 58,000 light-years (a light-year is almost 6 trillion miles) from the center of our galaxy. Earth , meanwhile, is some 26,000 light-years from the center.

This galaxy, located about 590 million light-years from Earth, has been observed for over a century. Yet, its gravitational lens remained undetected until Euclid’s high-resolution imaging ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed Herbig-Haro 49/50, an outflow from a nearby still-forming star, in high-resolution near- and mid-infrared light. The intricate features of the outflow, ...

Those telescopes have for years zoomed in on the far corners of the known universe, unveiling planets, stars and galaxies in high resolution. The James Webb Space Telescope, which launched in 2021 ...
