NASA's Webb telescope captured NGC 346, a star-forming region in a galaxy not so far far away from our Milky Way. The cluster's conditions are similar to "cosmic noon", the era of rapid star formation when galaxies were forming after the Big Bang.

NASA's JWST confirmed its first exoplanet. Called LHS 475 b, it's a rocket planet that's almost the same size as Earth. JWST's NIRSpec instrument captured the planet, and while researchers know it's a rocky planet, they are unsure if the exoplanet has an atmosphere.

Gravity is one of our four fundamental forces, and physicists have no idea what it’s made up of. There is a hypothesized “graviton,” but we have never been able to detect it. #Gravity #GeneralRelativity #Einstein
Look at this view of our planet! 🌎 The Korea Aerospace Research Institute shared this image, along with a few others, captured by the Korea Pathfinder Lunar Orbiter, also known as Danuri. This image was captured in late December and shows the moon’s landscape with our planet emerging from the horizon.
