James Webb telescope finds 'totally unexpected' ancient galaxy that defies theory

Scientists studying one of the earliest known galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope have found that the universe's Era of Reionization may have occurred much earlier than previously thought.

James Webb Space Telescope Reveals ‘Cosmic Tornado’ and Hidden Galaxy in Striking New Images

In a stunning display, a new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) composite image juxtaposes two cosmic elements, the protostar outflow jet Herbig-Haro 49/50 (HH 49/50) and a colorful spiral galaxy against the twinkling background of space. The image combines observations from JWST‘s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), finally resolving a mysterious blue feature first seen at the end of the cosmic jet in 2006. The spec…

Only 330 million years after the Big Bang, there existed a galaxy that today poses a great mystery to research. How could its radiation penetrate?

Webb Telescope Detects “Impossible” Light From the Dawn of Time

Unexpected, Bright Hydrogen Emission Caught Astronomers by Surprise In the early universe, space was filled with a dense fog of neutral hydrogen gas. Although the first stars and galaxies gave off powerful ultraviolet light, much of that light was trapped by the surrounding hydrogen. It wasn’t until hundreds of millions of years later that this [...]
