•The first image from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope is the farthest humanity has ever seen in both time and distance, closer to the dawn of time and the edge of the universe
International team of astronomers to look for evidence of alien technology
•The project was announced a month after the Pentagon released a report about unidentified aerial phenomena, which stated that their nature was unclear.
NASA's James Webb telescope unfolds its giant mirror, passes final pre-launch test
•Scientists from 44 countries will use the telescope to look at alien worlds and penetrate supermassive black holes at the centre of galaxies.
Breakthrough discovery of misbehaving muon challenges known laws of the physical universe
•Physicists say the anomaly has given hundreds of scientists new ideas for how to look for new particles in the universe.
ESO's telescope captures images of never-seen-before cosmic web with a surprise inside
