The configuration of 10 distant galaxies is depicted in this deep galaxy field from Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) as eight white circles arranged in a diagonal, thread-like line. (Two of the circles have many galaxies in them.) This 3 million light-year-long filament is held in place by a quasar, a galaxy with an active...
The James Webb Space Telescope’s JADES program is providing unprecedented insights into the early universe, discovering hundreds of ancient galaxies, and unveiling complex patterns of star formation.

Artist impression of the Euclid mission in space. The spacecraft is white and gold and consists of three main elements: a flat sunshield, a large cylinder where the light from space will enter, and a 'boxy' bottom containing the instruments. The spacecraft is shown half in the shadow, because the sunshield will always be...
Scientists have utilized genome editing technology to create a chicken egg with reduced allergenic properties. Image Credit: Canvas Allergies to eggs are highly prevalent among children and can be provoked by various food items, including vaccines. However, scientists have recently utilized genome editing technology to create a chicken egg that could potentially be consumed by...
This artist’s impression depicts a star being torn apart by an intermediate-mass black hole, surrounded by an accretion disk. Image credit: Hubble / NASA / ESA / M. Kornmesser. According to space experts, there is a possibility of the existence of intermediate-mass black holes. These are black holes that can consume some of the stray...

In the constellation Cetus, located about 250 million light-years from Earth, sits the elliptical galaxy NGC 547. This galaxy is the subject of a stunning image the NASA Hubble Space Telescope captured....
This floating farm transforms salty sea water into nutrients for agriculture and improves the marine environment! Credit: disenoyucatan. A New Concept of Green Preservation Floating Farm is a concept that involves the development of a sustainable farm on a floating platform. The idea behind the concept is to use the available space in water bodies such...
This system consists of a pair of galaxies, dubbed IC 694 and NGC 3690, which made a close pass some 700 million years ago. As a result of this interaction, the system underwent a fierce burst of star formation. In the last fifteen years or so six supernovae have popped off in the outer...
Artist impression of Quaoar's rings. Credit: Paris Observatory A group of researchers has discovered a previously unknown ring system around a dwarf planet located at the outer edge of the solar system. This ring system is unique in that it orbits much farther out than other known ring systems, which challenges current theories about the...
A series of green laser beams seen over Hawaii in January. (National Observatory of Japan) Above the islands of Hawaii on January 28th, a green laser was seen piercing the evening sky, silently tracing a course towards the horizon such as a stutter in the Matrix's code. The scene was captured on camera from a telescope atop...
