JWST Makes First Unequivocal Detection Of Carbon Dioxide In An Exoplanet Atmosphere

The James Webb Space Telescope is helping astronomers characterize the atmospheres of planets very different from those in our solar system

Astronomers Witness Star-Slinging Tug-Of-War Between Merging Galaxies

While observing a newly-dormant galaxy using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), scientists discovered that it had stopped forming stars not because it had used up all of its gas but because most of its star-forming fuel had been thrown out of the system as it merged with another galaxy.
