Webb reveals black hole that formed before its galaxy - The first direct mass measurement from the early Universe weighs in on the debate over the origins of supermassive black holes.
Using the unprecedented imaging and spectroscopic power of the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope, researchers have mapped the motion and composition of gas orbiting a black hole in the centre of Abell2744-QSO1, a tiny galaxy more than 13 billion lig

Webb finds carbon source on surface of Jupiter's moon Europa
Jupiter's moon Europa is one of a handful of worlds in our Solar System that could potentially harbour conditions suitable for life. Previous research has shown that beneath its water-ice crust lies a salty ocean of liquid water with a rocky seafloor. How
