4 lip 2024 · Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers from various research institutes including from Radboud University have made a groundbreaking discovery involving the molecular structure of ice in space. For the first time, scientists have observed the 'dangling OH peak’.
24 sty 2023 · The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb), the most powerful space observatory yet, has peered deep into a dense molecular cloud and found a rich variety of pristine interstellar ice —...
11 lip 2024 · This discovery enhances our understanding of ice grain structure and its role in planet formation. Thanks to the unprecedented sensitivity of the JWST, we are able to probe ices deep within dense...
4 gru 2023 · The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected a substantial abundance of carbon-monoxide ice in a giant cloud of molecular gas, nicknamed "The Brick," that sits near the center of...
23 sty 2023 · An international team of astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has obtained an in-depth inventory of the deepest, coldest ices measured to date in a molecular cloud. In addition to simple ices like water, the team was able to identify frozen forms of a wide range of molecules, from carbonyl sulfide, ammonia, and methane, to the ...
26 lut 2020 · Far-flung Uranus and Neptune — the ice giants of our solar system — are as mysterious as they are distant. Soon after its launch in 2021, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope will change that by unlocking secrets of the atmospheres of both planets.
6 gru 2023 · An international team of astronomers led by Ardjan Sturm of the Observatory has made the first two-dimensional inventory of ice in a planet-forming disk of dust and gas surrounding a young star. The researches, including Melissa McClure, used the James Webb Space Telescope and publish their findings…
