# Beyond the Stars: Webb's Discoveries from Diamond Planets to Cosmic Beginnings

Join The Space Cowboy on a fascinating journey through the cosmos as we explore the latest mind-blowing discoveries from the James Webb Space Telescope. In this episode, we venture from bizarre planetary oddities to the very birth of galaxies.

Discover the "lemon planet" - a helium and carbon-rich world squeezed into an unusual shape by a pulsar, potentially harboring a diamond-rich interior that challenges our understanding of planetary formation. We'll also examine newly forming solar systems caught in stunning detail, witness the creation of moons around distant planets, and explore massive star-forming regions near our galaxy's center.

The journey continues to the edge of time itself as Webb captures what may be the earliest known supernova in a universe just 730 million years old. We'll explore the deepest views ever taken of the cosmos through the MIDIS field observations and witness the chaotic death spirals of massive stars in the aptly-named Apep system.

From dwarf galaxies locked in gravitational dances to a newly discovered moon orbiting Uranus, this episode showcases how Webb is revolutionizing our understanding of cosmic evolution at every scale - from our solar neighborhood to the most distant reaches of space and time.
