Welcome to the Tuesday Telescope. There is a little too much darkness in this world and not enough light—a little too much pseudoscience and not enough science. We’ll let other publications offer you a daily horoscope. At Ars Technica, we’ll take a different route, finding inspiration from very real images of a universe that is filled with stars and wonder. Was the James Webb Space Telescope worth it? Well, $10 billion is a lot of money. Even when spread over a couple of decades, that's still

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just gave a cosmic mystery a serious plot twist. The event in question—a sudden brightening from a star about 12,000 light-years away—was initially chalked up to the star swelling into a red giant and engulfing a nearby planet, a typical tale in some star systems. But not this time. Webb’s perceptive infrared gaze, courtesy of its MIRI and NIRSpec instruments, peered deep into the dusty aftermath with its Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) and Ne

That "city-killer" asteroid may no longer be projected to strike Earth any time soon, but scientists are still keeping close tabs on it. Using the mighty James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have imaged the once-menacing space rock, dubbed 2024 YR4, in infrared light, providing our best estimate yet of its true size. It's also a convincing demonstration of the telescope's usefulness in assessing the hazards of near-Earth asteroids in the future. Previously, our ground-based glances at 2024

An asteroid is headed toward a close approach to Earth on December 22, 2032. But fear not, the Webb Space Telescope just re-confirmed that asteroid 2024 YR4 has a nearly 0% probability of crashing into Earth. That said, astronomers are unable to rule out a possible impact with the Moon. The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS) in Chile discovered the asteroid on December 27, 2024. Shortly after its discovery, asteroid 2024 YR4 was deemed potentially hazardous, with the odds of

NASA’s Webb Space Telescope has captured direct images of carbon dioxide in a planet beyond our solar system for the first time. The images feature HR 8799, a multiplanet system 130 light-years from Earth. The discovery not only reveals a chemical compound essential on Earth for processes including photosynthesis and the carbon cycle, but also indicates that gas giant planets elsewhere in the galaxy formed in a similar way to our local giants, Jupiter and Saturn. The team’s analysis of the Webb

Less than four years after its showstopping launch, the James Webb Space Telescope is facing massive budget slashes that will, experts worry, harm scientific progress and stymie the beloved observatory's operations. As Space.com reports, the research center that oversees Webb's operations has been directed to steel the observatory for up to 20 percent in budget cuts. Officials with that center, the Maryland-based Space Telescope Science Institute (STSci) that also oversees the Hubble and Chand
