Everything We've Discovered From JWST's Second Year ( From Closest To Farthest)
252Let's watch and analyze All The James Webb discoveries, images and photos.
Jupiter's Moons
Last year was amazing, with that historic first look at Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Mars through Webb's incredible lenses. But this year has been more about the steady stream of data and cool new discoveries rather than those jaw-dropping visuals.
Uranus's Faintest Ring
Let's journey farther out into the solar system to the icy giant, Uranus. In the first year, we were treated to an incredible image of Uranus taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, a favorite for many.
Exoplanets
Most exoplanets are detected using indirect methods, such as the transit method or the radial velocity method. But with the James Webb Telescope, we get a more fascinating and nuanced understanding of these exotic planetary systems.
An Exomoon Around A Brown Dwarf
Let's take a journey a bit further into the cosmos to explore the fascinating world of brown dwarfs. These mysterious objects are often described as "failed stars" because they lack the mass required to sustain hydrogen fusion in their cores.
The First Hycean World
When we think about planets, we often focus on the habitable zone, the region around a star where liquid water can exist on an exoplanet's surface. However, in recent years, a new type of planet has been proposed: Hycean Worlds.
Methane In An Exoplanet Atmosphere
Let's explore a Jupiter-like planet called WASP-80b, which is located in a distant part of the Galaxy. Unlike "hot Jupiters" that orbit very close to their star, WASP-80b is more like a "warm Jupiter" with a surface temperature of around 550 degrees Celsius.
Weather Patterns On An Exoplanet
We cannot yet directly observe the weather on exoplanets. But for some nearby worlds, the James Webb Space Telescope can analyze the atmosphere to determine its composition and what the weather and climate are like.
Water Delivery To New Planets
One of the oldest mysteries in planetary science is the origin of Earth's water. Given its proximity to the Sun, it's unlikely that water could have survived on the planet's surface without the protective shield of the atmosphere and magnetosphere, which defend against solar wind and radiation.
A Planet With Clouds Made Of Sand
You are probably familiar with violent sandstorms, but can you that somewhere in the depths of the universe is a planet with clouds made of sand? This incredibly fascinating world is the WASP-17b. T
Rogue Planets In The Orion Nebula
These could probably be some of the most fascinating discoveries made by the James Webb Space Telescope in its second year. This $10-billion telescope has spotted hundreds of rogue planets in the Orion Nebula, also known as free-floating planets. .
A Key Molecule For Life
Have you ever wondered where Earth's organic molecules came from, the ones that are made up of various carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms and are essential for life?
Protoplanetary Discs In The Lobster Nebula
Now, we are traveling to the Lobster Nebula, also known as NGC-6537, a dense region of space where stars are actively forming. With hundreds of thousands of new stars in the making, there is an abundance of mass and material. Herbig-Haro 46/47
Now, let's turn our attention to a pair of newly forming stars, Herbig-Haro 46 and 47. These two young stars orbit each other and will eventually become a binary pair. The Most Distant Active Super Massive Black Hole
There's a fascinating phenomenon at the heart of most galaxies: astronomers believe there's a supermassive black hole in the center.
