NASA's James Webb Telescope Reveals Universe Expanding Faster Than Thought
The rate of expansion of the universe today is a figure known as the Hubble constant, which is typically measured in units of kilometers per second per megaparsec (km/s/Mpc), where a megaparsec (Mpc) is about 3.26 million light-years.
James Webb Space Telescope finds smallest asteroids ever seen between Mars and Jupiter
By reverse-engineering James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) exoplanet data, a team of astronomers just spotted dozens of tiny asteroids — including the smallest ever seen in the main belt between Mars and Jupiter.
James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers ‘Firefly Sparkle’
Mowla, who spotted the galaxy in Webb’s image, was drawn to its gleaming star clusters, because objects that sparkle typically indicate they are extremely clumpy and complicated. Since the galaxy looks like a ‘sparkle’ or swarm of fireflies on a warm summer night, they named it the Firefly Sparkle galaxy.
