Firefly Sparkle: 'Christmas' galaxy reveals how Universe formed

For the first time, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has successfully detected and measured a galaxy that existed just 600 million years after the Big Bang, offering a striking glimpse into the early Universe. This discovery is particularly significant as the galaxy's mass closely resembles what the Milky Way's mass might have been during the same stage of its formation. This galaxy, which is named the "Firefly Sparkle," is unique from t…

James Webb Telescope Uncovers 'Baby Milky Way' Galaxy Actively Shaping The Early Universe

WASHINGTON - NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a young galaxy dating to the early universe - called Firefly Sparkle because its gleaming star clusters resemble the bioluminescent bugs - in a discovery that is giving astronomers a peek at what our Milky Way may have looked like in its infancy.

Firefly Sparkle galaxy offers a taste of the infant Milky Way

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a young galaxy that dates back to the early universe. Dubbed the "Firefly Sparkle" galaxy because it dances like fireflies on a warm summer night, the discovery gives astronomers a glimpse into the early days of our Milky Way.

美國宇航局的詹姆斯·韋伯太空望遠鏡發現了一個可追溯到早期宇宙時期的年輕星系。這個年輕星系被稱為「螢火蟲閃爍」（Firefly Sparkle）星系，因為該星系就像螢火蟲在溫暖的夏夜「跳舞」一樣。這一發現讓天文學家得以一窺銀河系在早期的風采。

How the Milky Way Galaxy looked when it was a baby: First glimpse revealed

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has achieved a new first: capturing a spectacular image of a Milky Way-like galaxy in its early stages of formation. This distant galaxy has been christened "Firefly Sparkle".

Telescopul Spațial James Webb al NASA a reușit o nouă premieră: capturarea unei imagini spectaculoase a unei galaxii asemănătoare Căii Lactee în primele sale faze de formare. Această galaxie îndepărtată a fost botezată „Firefly Sparkle” (Licurici Strălucitor).

The Galaxy of "Christmas Lights". Spectacular images captured, for the first time, by NASA's telescope

The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope just solved a conundrum by proving a controversial finding made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope more than 20 years ago.

The observation capabilities of the James Webb telescope seem to have no limit. Long ago the most powerful of today's observatories left behind the milestones reached by other instruments and demonstrated their extraordinary ability to 'see' ever further away, to observe the Universe as it was in its earliest childhood, shortly after the Big Bang.Now, and without any more rivals to beat, the Space Telescope has nothing left but to go beyond its …

Las capacidades de observación del telescopio James Webb parecen no tener límite. Hace tiempo que el más poderoso de los observatorios actuales dejó atrás los hitos alcanzados por otros instrumentos y demostró su extraordinaria capacidad para 'ver' cada vez más lejos, para observar el Universo tal y como era en su más tierna infancia, poco tiempo después del Big Bang.Ahora, y sin más rivales a los que batir, al Telescopio Espacial no le queda má…
