Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have mapped where dust collects around a nearby supermassive black hole — and found that almost all of it sits in a compact ring feeding the object.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was designed to look back in time and study galaxies that existed shortly after the Big ...

JWST and ESA’s Ariel mission plan coordinated exoplanet observations starting in 2030, combining high-resolution targeting and large-scale surveys to expand atmospheric data collection.
