The James Webb Space Telescope was late to launch, but the observatory is making gup for lost time. After two years of operation, Webb has captured some truly stunning cosmic vistas, complete with a raft of scientific data that has helped scientists advance their understanding of the universe.

Once blocked from view, the most massive young star cluster in the Milky Way has finally been revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope.

JWST has found an early universe galaxy forming stars faster on the outer edges than its core, a first-of-its-kind observation.

Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to detect ancient lonely quasars with murky origins. They appear to have few cosmic neighbors, raising questions about how they first emerged more than 13 billion years ago.

Modeling predicts that galaxies in the early universe should have formed inside-out. Now, a new observation from the James Webb Space Telescope appears to have confirmed this.
