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.
From exploring the deepest corners of the universe to reimagining urban heat resilience, University of Arizona expertise in several disciplines generated international headlines in 2022.
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.
After years of preparation and anticipation, exoplanet researchers are ecstatic about the first official scientific observation of an exoplanet by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. The results are indicative of Webb's ability to spot key molecules like carbon dioxide in a wide variety of exoplanets.
After decades of development, a nail-biting launch and months of space travel and commissioning, NASA has released the first images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope. The images hint at the beginning of years of space science, made possible in part by the 21 UArizona researchers who have played a role in developing and managing Webb's onboard instruments.
