James Webb Space Telescope

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a threadlike arrangement of 10 galaxies that existed just 830 million years after the Big Bang. The structure reveals clues and questions about the fundamental architecture of the universe.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered an unexpected bounty of full-fledged galaxies at a time when the universe was just getting started. Researchers learned that these galaxies went through bursts of star formation.

Regents Professors Marcia and George Rieke and UArizona alumna Jane Rigby were recognized for their accomplishments in astronomy and key contributions to the James Webb Space Telescope.

A new Webb Space Telescope image of the bright, nearby star Fomalhaut reveals its planetary system with details never seen before, including nested concentric rings of dust. These belts most likely are carved by the gravitational forces produced by embedded, unseen planets.

With NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, researchers are observing star formation in nearby galaxies with unprecedented resolution at infrared wavelengths.

University of Arizona space sciences activities generate more than $560 million every year for the local economy, according to an economic impact report delivered by Rounds Consulting Group.

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.

Thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have identified a "mystery molecule" that previously stumped astronomers. They've also gained insights needed to interpret potential signs of habitability on other exoplanets.

To mark the lecture series' 100-year anniversary, an evening celebration will include a presentation on the newest science to come out of the James Webb Space Telescope, a chance to peer at the sky through telescopes, recognition of a new endowed chair and the opening of Steward Observatory's visitor center.
