DOI: 10.1002/asna.20240144
Abstract: JWST has made several surprising discoveries, underscored by the “too early” appearance of well‐formed galaxies and supermassive black holes. It recently also uncovered a compact galaxy (JWST‐ER1g) associated with a complete Einstein ring (JWST‐ER1r) at… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-024-02292-x
Abstract: Observing exoplanets through transmission spectroscopy supplies detailed information about their atmospheric composition, physics and chemistry. Before the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), these observations were limited to a narrow wavelength range across the near-ultraviolet to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41550-025-02537-3
Abstract: Saturn’s moon Titan undergoes a long annual cycle of 29.45 Earth years. Titan’s northern winter and spring were investigated in detail by the Cassini–Huygens spacecraft (2004–2017), but the northern summer season remains sparsely studied. Here… read more here.
