Astronomers are thrilled by the extraordinary images provided by the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)—but some of the data already contradict Big Bang expectations.¹

Since its launch 32 years ago, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has taken incredible pictures of the universe.

Recently, with the aid of a phenomenon called gravitational lensing, the Hubble took a remarkable picture of a star called Earendel. Astronomers say it is the farthest individual star to date.

A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) used NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to discover a gas giant in another solar system. The planet holds a new record for being a hot Jupiter-like exoplanet with the shortest year.¹
