US EditionWhooo's There? James Webb Telescope Spots 'Cosmic Owl,' Super-Rare Structure Formed From Colliding Ring Galaxies
NO LOC, JUL 8 – James Webb Space Telescope data from 111 galaxies show thin disks formed about 8 billion years ago, supporting a sequential and co-evolutionary model of disk galaxy formation.

Whooo's there? James Webb telescope spots 'Cosmic Owl,' super-rare structure formed from colliding ring galaxies
Located billions of light-years away, the "Cosmic Owl" is a pair of colliding ring galaxies spotted by the JWST. It's also an "exceptional natural laboratory" for studying how galaxies evolve.
The JWST Shows Us How Galaxies Evolve
The Milky Way and other similar galaxies have two distinct disk sections. One is the thin disk section, and it contains mostly younger stars with higher metallicity. The second is the thick disk, and it contains older stars with lower metallicity. The effort to study these disks in more galaxies and in greater detail has been stymied. But now we have the JWST, and researchers used it to examine more than 100 distant, edge-on galaxies.
James Webb Telescope Spots Bizarre 'Cosmic Owl' in a Galaxial Collision
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled a remarkable cosmic phenomenon that scientists are calling the “Cosmic Owl.” This strange structure, located billions of light-years away, was formed by the rare collision of two ring galaxies. The object provides a unique opportunity to study the processes that shape galaxies and how they evolve over time. What is the ‘Cosmic Owl’? The “Cosmic Owl” appears as an owl-like structure when viewed t…
Spectroscopy Of Free-Floating Planetary-Mass Objects And Their Disks With JWST - Astrobiology
Free-floating planetary-mass objects (FFPMOs) are known to harbor disks at young ages. Here, we present 1-13 μm spectra for eight young FFPMOs with masses of 5-10 MJup (at ages of 1-5 Myr), using the NIRSpec and MIRI instruments on the James Webb Space Telescope. We derive fundamental properties of these targets, and find spectral types […] The post Spectroscopy Of Free-Floating Planetary-Mass Objects And Their Disks With JWST appeared first on …
