Using NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), an international team of astronomers has discovered a new massive and dense exoplanet. The newfound alien world, designated TOI-332 b, is one of the densest Neptune-sized planets known to date. The finding is reported in a paper published August 23 on the pre-print server arXiv.

It’s close enough and prominent in the northern sky that amateur astronomers have shared stunning pictures of it for decades . But you’ve never seen anything like this : M51 as seen by the James Webb Space Telescope JWST This image contains data from the telescopeâ s
Thanks to data obtained by Webb, astronomers have confirmed that MACS0647-star-1 is the second farthest star observed to date.

An international team of astronomers has used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe the planetary nebula NGC 6720, better known as the Ring Nebula. The observational campaign, described in a paper on the pre-print server arXiv, has revealed a wealth of structural detail in this nebula.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), an international team of astronomers has performed deep spectroscopic observations of a galaxy known as COSMOS-1142. As a result, they detected massive and multiphase outflow of neutral and ionized gas in this galaxy. The finding was reported in a paper published August 10 on the pre-print server arXiv.
