The night sky as we know it is in great danger: at least that is the diagnosis of many astronomers, who sound the alarm in countless publications. The launch of satellite constellations urgently needs to be regulated so as not to destroy the night sky. Let … The astronomical scientific community is sounding the alarm … Read more
An image of a dying star captured by the James Webb Space Telescope has been released. The star Wolf-Rayet, WR 124, identified by the James Webb Space Telescope, which cost $10 billion to develop, is 15,000 light-years away from Earth, and its central star emits purple and yellow glowing gas moving 150,000 km/h. is emitted … Read more
This glowing dust shell surrounds the Wolf-Rayet star WR 124 – a roughly 30 solar-mass stellar giant that is about to go supernova. Before that, however, the dying star giant has already ejected around ten solar masses of material, which now surrounds it in a glowing shell of dust and gas. The James Webb telescope’s … Read more
The James Webb Space Telescope has shared another unique discovery, 15,000 light-years from Earth, he spotted an extremely rare sight, namely a star on the brink of transformation, going through the Wolf-Rayet phase. WR 124, or This is a unique Wolf-Rayet star on the verge of exploding /NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI, Webb ERO Production Team … Read more

For nearly 150 million years after the Big Bang, no star illuminated the observable cosmos, it was the so-called dark ages period which will gradually give way to the so-called reionization period that we hope to explore with the James Webb telescope. It is possible to study the dark ages despite the absence of stars … Read more
CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida- The Webb Space Telescope has captured the rare and fleeting phase of a star on the cusp of death. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA, in English) released the image Tuesday at the South by Southwest conference in Austin, Texas. The observation was one of the first made by Webb upon … Read more
Researchers got their first look inside a distant spiral galaxy to see how stars form and how they change over time, thanks to the James Webb Space Telescope’s ability to penetrate veils of dust and gas clouds.

On 7 March, the ESA Science Program Committee confirmed the continuation of the operations of CHEOPS until 2026 with a possible extension until 2029, subject to commitments from contributing countries and other partners, the two universities said Thursday in a communiqué commun. The CHEOPS satellite was launched on December 18, 2019 from the European Space … Read more
When NASA released the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)for its acronym in English) we sensed that a new era would open in the history of space exploration and the study of the stars. However, in this short period of time we have been able to verify that any previous expectations around this device were really … Read more
