Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope to observe the first asteroid belt seen outside of our solar system and unveiled some cosmic surprises along the way.
The James Webb Space Telescope can add another cosmic accomplishment to its list: The space observatory has been used to confirm the existence of an exoplanet for the first time.
As 2022 comes to an end amid stubborn inflation, a "tripledemic," a climate crisis and a brutal war with no end in sight, it can be difficult to remember that good things happened this year, too.

A stellar nursery where stars are born, interactions between galaxies and a unique view of an exoplanet are just some of the new cosmic images are being shared Tuesday.
We are seeing some of the deepest images of the universe ever recorded, images taken by the James Webb Space Telescope, named after a North Carolina man.
The first glimpse of how the James Webb Space Telescope will change the way people see the universe has arrived. The rest of the high-resolution color images will make their debut today. Here are the details.
NASA will release the James Webb Space Telescope's first images on Tuesday. The 5 targets include nebulae, an exoplanet, and galaxies including one you might recognize from a holiday movie.
Get ready to see some awe-inspiring views of the universe as we've never seen it before.
After 28 days and 885,000 miles, the journey of the James Webb Space Telescope will reach its destination on Monday after controllers fire its thrusters, placing it a huge orbit around L2, a gravitationally stable point a million miles from Earth.
It's the largest mirror NASA has ever built, but its size created a unique problem. The mirror was so large that it couldn't fit inside a rocket.
Just 14 days after launching, the world's most complex space observatory has already overcome some of its greatest challenges. The James Webb Space Telescope successfully completed the unfolding of its giant gold mirror on Saturday.
In a moment that was decades in the making, the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA's premier space observatory of the next decade, successfully launched on Saturday morning.
