A strange cosmic object nicknamed “The Accident” has given scientists their first glimpse of a rare silicon-based molecule long expected in the atmospheres of Jupiter, Saturn, and other giant planets.

A brown dwarf is sometimes called a “failed star,” but it could destroy everything we know. We break down step by step how it would affect planets, moons, and even the Sun itself if one passed through ...

Webb detects silane in a nearby brown dwarf, solving the mystery of the disappearance of silicon in the atmospheres of giant planets.

"Sometimes it's the extreme objects that help us understand what's happening in the average ones." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have investigated a "failed star," or brown ...

The James Webb Telescope has revealed fierce auroras, storms, and unchanging sand-like clouds on the rogue planet SIMP-0136. These insights are pushing the boundaries of our understanding of alien ...

Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, researchers observed auroras warming the rogue planet’s upper atmosphere.

The JWST has found evidence of auroras and clouds in the atmosphere of the giant rogue planet SIMP-0136, but the causes must be very different from anything we see within the Solar System. When ...

A possible galaxy named Capotauro may have formed within 90 million years of the big bang – but astronomers can’t be sure that’s what it is ...

Using JWST, astronomers uncovered auroras, exotic clouds, and storms on a blazing rogue planet. Brilliant aurora-like displays, much like Earth’s Northern Lights, are the highlight of an unusual ...
