Using NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope, astronomers have discovered an entire galaxy cluster wrapped in a 20 million light-year-wide envelope of charged particles.

Part of the closest star-forming region to us, known as the Chamaeleon Complex, has been illuminated by the light of young stars in this artwork by nature captured by the Dark Energy Camera.

The M-class flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection currently forecast to land Earth with a glancing blow on June 18.

Dark matter "lampshades" could slip between Earth and distant stars, causing tiny amounts of dimming that may help explain one of the greatest puzzles in science.

Rapid bursts of energy that last milliseconds but emit as much energy as the sun does in decades are helping astronomers pierce the cosmic fog between galaxies to find the universe's missing matter.

The search for life beyond Earth is a holy grail quest for many experts, but finding where to look is a core issue.

The film shows never-before-seen footage taken by the JWST film crew as the telescope was being assembled.

"It's like looking for candlelight in close vicinity to a flashlight that's blazing toward us."

The James Webb Space Telescope has notched another milestone, capturing a direct image of one of the coldest and oldest known exoplanets.
