Possible explanations include a neutron star pulling in gas from a companion star or a powerful flare from a distant magnetar. Researchers also specula... The James Webb Space Telescope has ...

Last year, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope ... a planet that was once part of a star, whose outer layer was stripped off by the massive neutron star, who is also a millisecond pulsar.

sending a giant plume of gas into space that gave the star a ring. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been studying the scene of a dramatic collision between a star and its planet ...

When the planet finally fell in toward the star, it splashed away layers of gas from the star’s outer atmosphere, and this gas gradually cooled into cold dust which now sits as a cloud around the star ...

Webb first observed the region called Sagittarius C in 2023. Now researchers are now using those observations to study star formation in the wider area around the center of the Milky Way, known as the ...

Observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have provided a surprising twist in the narrative surrounding what is believed to be the first star observed in the act of swallowing a planet.

The latest James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations focused on the HR 8799 system, which consists of four planets orbiting their host star about 130 light-years from Earth in the ...
