The nebula is possibly being produced by a type of unstable star called a Wolf–Rayet star.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have investigated 70 dusty galaxies at the very edge of the universe that challenge our understanding of cosmic evolution.

"This is a crucial step towards characterizing giant planets beyond our solar system."

"This data provides us with rare insight into how galaxies were transformed in the early universe."

New research reveals how quiet galactic engines can help shape entire galaxies.

Relatedly, astronomers may have just pushed the upper size limit of what counts as a planet.

"We found an unexpected chemical complexity, with abundances far higher than predicted by current theoretical models."

"There is a growing chasm between theory and observation related to the early universe, which presents compelling questions to be explored going forward."

"JADES-ID1 is giving us new evidence that the universe was in a huge hurry to grow up."

Recent James Webb Space Telescope data confirms a decade-old theory that the universe's earliest supermassive black holes formed without stars.
