NASA Webb Pushes Boundaries of Observable Universe Closer to Big Bang

NASA Webb Pushes Boundaries of Observable Universe Closer to Big Bang

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has topped itself once again, delivering the confirmation of a bright galaxy that existed a mere 280 million years after the Big Bang; so close to the beginning of the universe as we understand. GNN reported on the last such discovery, a galaxy 300 million years after, and scientists are […] The post NASA Webb Pushes Boundaries of Observable Universe Closer to Big Bang appeared first on Good News Network.

Cosmic Collision: The JWST Found An Early 5-Galaxy Merger

The JWST found a system of at least five interacting galaxies only 800 million years after the Big Bang. The discovery adds weight to the growing understanding that galaxies were interacting and shaping their surroundings far earlier than scientists thought. There's also evidence that the collision was redistributing heavy elements beyond the galaxies themselves.

Scientists find farthest galaxy ever detected

Scientists using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) spotted the farthest galaxy, called MoM-z14, detected to date, NASA announced last week.  The galaxy existed just 280 million years after the Big Bang. In comparison, the Milky Way formed 800 million years after the Big Bang. The scientists published a paper on the galaxy in the… The post Scientists find farthest galaxy ever detected appeared first on Research & Development World.

Webb Telescope spots rare five-galaxy merger just 800 million years after the big bang

Astronomers have spotted an unexpected and dramatic event in the early universe: a tightly packed collision involving at least five galaxies just 800 million years after the Big Bang. The discovery, made using the powerful eyes of the James Webb Space Telescope, suggests that galaxies were growing, colliding, and reshaping their surroundings far earlier than […] The post Webb Telescope spots rare five-galaxy merger just 800 million years after t…
