James Webb Space Telescope: NASA’s New Hubble Space Telescope is the Giant Leap in Exploring the Universe

Nov 08, 2016 10:07 PM EST

For two decades of innovative construction and after several setbacks, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is finally complete and being prepared to launch in 2018.

The immense halo of gas enveloping the Andromeda galaxy, our nearest massive galactic neighbor, is about six times larger and 1,000 times more massive than previously measured.

New data reveals how galaxies are "wasting" heavy elements such as oxygen, carbon and iron by ejecting them into deep space to form halos.

This illustration shows the three steps astronomers used to measure the universe's expansion rate to an unprecedented accuracy, reducing the total uncertainty to 2.4 percent.

Galaxies have turned into deserts without young stars billions of years ago due to galactic warming. The phenomenon has puzzled astronomers to identify the process that makes the gas in these galaxies too energetic and hot to make stars.

This image shows our neighbouring planet Mars, as it was observed shortly before opposition in 2016 by the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope.
