Astronomers trained the James Webb Space Telescope on a small portion of the sky wall while searching for extremely ancient galaxies. They captured a stunning cosmic image.

The JADES program is one of the largest programs using Webb's incredible technology, aiming to answer key questions about the universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered an unexpected bounty of full-fledged galaxies at a time when the universe was just getting started. A team of researchers led by UArizona astronomers learned that these galaxies went through bursts of star formation.

White dwarfs, Earth-sized exoplanets, early galaxies and even Saturn’s moon Enceladus are on the agenda for JWST’s second year in space, but exomoons and others miss out

Less than a year after the James Webb Space Telescope's Christmas Day launch in 2021, scientists have captured images of the most distant galaxies ever seen.
