In July 2024, NASA's Perseverance rover found "leopard spots" on a reddish rock called "Cheyava Falls" in Mars' Jezero Crater. Scientists suggest these spots might indicate that chemical reactions in the rock billions of years ago could have supported microbial life. Other explanations are also being explored.

NASA's Webb telescope captures a stunning image of the Serpens Nebula, revealing a cluster of baby stars in the top left corner. These stars are still forming and shooting out powerful jets of gas in a surprising, aligned pattern. Unlike some nebulae, Serpens doesn't create its own light. Instead, it glows by reflecting light from nearby stars.

An international team of astronomers has utilized NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to investigate the disk of gas and dust surrounding a young, low-mass star called ISO-ChaI 147. Their findings, depicted in this artist's impression, show the most diverse and abundant collection of carbon-containing molecules ever observed in a planet-forming disk around a star.

This artist's concept shows what the exoplanet 55 Cancri e could look like based on observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope and other observatories. Observations from Webb’s NIRCam and MIRI suggest that the planet may be surrounded by an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide (CO2) or carbon monoxide (CO). Researchers think the gases that make up the atmosphere could have bubbled out of an ocean of magma that is thought to cover the planet’s surface.

A 3D rendered image of the spiral galaxy NGC 4151, with a bright central region representing the active galactic nucleus. The image zooms in to show a glowing accretion disk surrounding a supermassive black hole, with twin jets of particles emanating from the disk's center. Colorful spectral lines are overlaid on the image, highlighting the iron fingerprints detected by XRISM's Resolve instrument.

This phase curve, captured by the MIRI low resolution spectrometer on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, shows the change in brightness of the WASP-43 system over time as the planet orbits its star. The system appears brightest when the hot dayside of the planet is facing the telescope, just before and after it passes behind the star. The system grows dimmer as the planet continues its orbits and the nightside rotates into view. It brightens again after passing in front of the star as the dayside rotates back into view. WASP-43 b is a hot Jupiter roughly 280 light-years away, in the constellation Sextans.
