Astronomers using @NASAHubble have recorded a star’s final moments as it gets gobbled up by a black hole. Stellar shredding like this happens only a few times in every 100,000 years in any given galaxy with a supermassive black hole center: go.nasa.gov/3GLBRrA #AAS241

What was star formation like in the early universe? One way to study conditions in the distant past is to find parallels close by. That's why Webb took a look at star-forming region NGC 346 within our neighboring dwarf galaxy: go.nasa.gov/3CFXiJo #AAS241

NASA’s Webb Uncovers Star Formation in Cluster’s Dusty Ribbons

NGC 346, one of the most dynamic star-forming regions in nearby galaxies, is full of mystery. Now, it is less mysterious with new findings from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope.

A whole new world!

41 light-years away is the small, rocky planet LHS 475 b. At 99% of Earth’s diameter, it’s almost exactly the same size as our home world. This marks the first time researchers have used Webb to confirm an exoplanet. go.nasa.gov/3VY5WK1 #AAS241
