Saturn's Rings Shine in Webb's Spectacular Infrared Portrait. Read Full article here
In a milestone event on June 25, 2023, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope directed its focus towards the renowned ringed planet Saturn, capturing its first-ever near-infrared observations. The initial imagery obtained by Webb's NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) has already captivated researchers. At this particular infrared wavelength, Saturn appears remarkably dark due to the absorption of sunlight by methane gas in its atmosphere. However, the icy rings retain their relative brightness, resulting in a striking and unconventional depiction of Saturn in the Webb image. This captivating image was acquired as part of the Webb Guaranteed Time Observation program 1247. The program involved conducting extensive observations of Saturn, specifically designed to assess the telescope's ability to detect faint moons within the planetary system and explore the intricacies of its luminous rings. Any newly discovered moons could provide vital insights into the material flow within the present Saturn system and offer glimpses into its past history.

Webb Telescope Captures Images of Quasar Host Galaxies in Early Universe. Read full article here
June 28, 2023 - In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists utilizing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have successfully captured images of starlight from two massive galaxies hosting actively growing black holes, known as quasars. These images reveal the earliest epoch to date in which light from stars has been detected around a quasar, less than a billion years after the Big Bang. The findings shed light on the formation of black holes and their relationship with host galaxies in the early universe.
The Study and Findings:
Led by researchers from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe and the Peking University Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics, the study utilized a combination of ground-based observations from the Subaru Telescope and space-based observations from the JWST. The team focused on two quasars, HSC J2236+0032 and HSC J2255+0251, which were discovered through Subaru Telescope's deep survey program. These quasars, located when the universe was around 860 million years old, provided an opportunity to study the properties of their host galaxies. Read full article here.
