The James Webb telescope's search for habitable exoplanets is getting a big boost from its new star-watching companion, Pandora.

The James Webb Space Telescope captured infrared light from a black hole and gave scientists unprecedented insights into the object's structure.

A new image from the James Webb Space Telescope by NASA gives a glimpse into a black hole within the Circinus Galaxy, which is 13 million light-year from Earth.

New photos show off NASA's newly constructed Roman Space Telescope, which will soon help researchers unravel the mysteries of the cosmos. Experts have also revealed when the next-gen spacecraft is set to launch and begin collecting data.

Depending on the timing, NASA could launch a fresh crew to the space station while four other astronauts are flying around the moon.

"Awards like these are a critical component of our incubator program for future missions, which combines government leadership with commercial innovation to make what is impossible today rapidly implementable in the future," said Shawn Domagal-Goldman, director of NASA's Astrophysics Division in the statement.

NASA has quietly hit pause on what it billed as its first dedicated hunt for alien biosignatures, reacting to fresh data that raised more questions than answers about how to tell life’s fingerprints from nature’s noise.
