Webb Telescope snaps 45000 galaxies in ONE frame; universe seen like never before

[ad_1] The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made significant contributions to our understanding of how galaxies and stars came into existence. NASA recently shared an infrared image captured by Webb as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program, shedding more light on the vast expanse of the universe.This particular image focuses on a region of the sky known as GOODS-Sout. Amazingly this one photo packs over 45,000 galaxies, as reported by NASA. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study of galaxies that emerged 500 to 850 million years after the Big Bang, also referred to as the Epoch of Reionisation. During this epoch, the universe was shrouded in a gaseous fog that rendered it opaque. Approximately one billion years after the Bi...

Hubble Space Telescope gets up close and personal with our neighbours

[ad_1] By getting to know our neighbours out in space, astronomers can determine what types of stars reside in various nearby galaxies and Hubble Space Telescope is helping map out the local structure of the Universe. Recently NASA has released an image of galaxy LEDA 48062 in the constellation Perseus by the Hubble Space Telescope. In the Image, LEDA 48062 is the faint, sparse, amorphous galaxy on the right side of the image, and it is accompanied by a more sharply defined neighbor on the left, the large, disc-like lenticular galaxy UGC 8603. A smattering of more distant galaxies also litters the background, and a handful of foreground stars are also visible throughout the image. The center of attraction in the image are stars surrounded by four sharp points. These points are call...
