Western researchers among first to capture James Webb Space Telescope images
The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) has captured the most detailed and sharpest images ever taken of the inner region of the Orion Nebula, a stellar nursery situated in the constellation Orion 1,350 light-years away from Earth. The new images released today were targeted by an international collaboration, which includes researchers from Western University.

’This is what physics is all about’: University of Toronto undergrads probe subatomic universe at CERN
Physicists explore the subatomic realm by smashing particles together using the LHC. They then study what happens in those collisions using detectors like ATLAS and CMS.

The lonely fate of a robot on Mars
Science, Health & Technology Erik Rolfsen Covered in the red dust that sealed its fate, the NASA InSight lander is slowly shutting down, more than 250 million kilometres from home. With its solar panels now obscured by the red planet's debris, the four-year-old robot is running out of power. One by one, its instruments are being taken offline: its robotic arm moving into 'retirement pose', its seismometer likely to be turned off sometime in June.

James Webb Space Telescope: beginning to see the light
Our experts are available to talk about the next big step for the James Webb Space Telescope, which they helped design: its first images, set for release this summer. The James Webb Space Telescope was launched in December with many sophisticated instruments aboard, including a Canadian guidance camera and scientific instrument co-developed by researchers at the Université de Montréal.

James Webb Space Telescope: our experts speak out
The launch of the most complex and powerful telescope ever built will be commented on by a number of UdeM astrophysicists who contributed to its design. The James Webb Space Telescope is scheduled to be launched on December 22 with sophisticated instruments on board, including a Canadian guidance sensor largely developed by researchers at Université de Montréal.
