NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures light from galaxies shrouded by Big Bang gas

Over the years, space agencies and other institutions have been studying the universe for years and years, however, the evolution of galaxies and theories of the Big Bang are some of the things that scientists are still studying to gain a better understanding. For conducting such studies space scientists and researchers have been using powerful telescopes such as NASA's James Webb Space Telescope. In a recent finding, the James Webb Space Telescope has spotted a faint light from an early galaxy which has expanded scientists' knowledge in terms of previous written theories. Check what the researchers found.James Webb Space Telescope findingsAccording to an ESA report, the JWST has captured light emitted billions of years ago from some of the earliest galaxies in space. However, these li...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope snaps ghostly galaxy formed just 900 mn years after Big Bang

Over the years, NASA's most powerful James Webb Space Telescope has been providing amazing insights on deep space to researchers and astronomers. Now, it has snapped a scary looking star-forming galaxy in deep space which was created millions of years ago. The galaxy was first captured by the Hubble Space Telescope earlier, however, it had disappeared from the images. Then, NASA's Webb telescope catured a faint image of the galaxy when it reappeared. Know more about this ghostly galaxy here.NASA James Webb Space Telescope findingsAccording to research published in The Astrophysical Journal, the dusty galaxy has been named AzTECC71. It is extremely old. In fact, it was formed just 900 million years after the Big Bang. researchers said that the galaxy is producing hundreds of stars due t...

NASA James Webb Space Telescope makes big discovery about rocky planets

The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has unmatched capabilities of capturing deep space beyond our galaxy going as far back as almost to the point of the Big Bang event event. Now, a new study by the eXtreme Ultraviolet Environments (XUE) program revealed observations about water and other molecules being present in the regions where rocky planets form and that too under extreme environmental conditions. This study has stunned researchers as it challenges the previous theories about where rocky planets develop.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope captures glimpse of star-forming region Sagittarius C

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope now has reached 25000 light-years away from Earth at the star-forming region called Sagittarius C. The telescope has yet again given researchers a surprising view of deep space with extraordinary details and never-seen features. The region consists of a massive amount of protostar which is still in the formation stage and gaining mass at the same time. Check out what researchers are saying about the new discovery and image captured by the powerful telescope.James Webb Space Telescope's findingAccording to a NASA report, the Webb's telescope captured the image of the dense centre of our galaxy at the star-forming region called Sagittarius C(Sgr C) which is about 300 light-years from the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A. The ima...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope snaps one of the most distant galaxies ever; it is 330 mn years old

The most powerful NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has managed to capture several distant galaxies, planets, space objects, and more over the years. Its capabilities and technologies are only growing and giving scientists a chance to unfold mysteries of space and beyond. While the thought of exploring space and its diverse objects seems surreal and imaginative, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered new galaxies which is the second-most and the fourth distant galaxy ever observed. Know more about finding here.James Webb Space Telescope findingsAccording to research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovered second and fourth-most distant galaxies at the Pandora's Cluster region which is also known as Abell 2744.

First light in Universe revealed! James Webb Space Telescope spotlights 717 ancient galaxies

The James Webb Space Telescope has made an incredible discovery. It has revealed the first light that had suffused the early Universe. Webb Telescope has revealed hundreds of ancient galaxies that may be among the first ever to exist in the universe. This is a significant leap from the handful of galaxies that were previously known during that time.According to a new study by the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), these very young galaxies displayed complex structures and clusters of star formation just 600 million years after the Big Bang. The study collected observations from two small areas in the sky, one in the Ursa Minor constellation and another in the direction of the Fornax cluster. Within these regions, over 700 young galaxies were discovered, providing a glimps...

James Webb Telescope looks back in time, finds oldest organic molecules ever seen

A groundbreaking study led by astronomers from Texas A&M University using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled the existence of the oldest known complex organic molecules in the universe. These carbon-based chemicals, called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), were found within an early galaxy that formed when the universe was only 10% of its current age.Unlike simple compounds such as water or carbon dioxide, the identified molecules are large and intricate, containing dozens or even hundreds of atoms. Similar to the ones found in smoke, soot, oil, coal deposits, and smog on Earth, these PAHs are commonly associated with tiny dust grains in space. The study's lead author, Justin Spilker, expressed his enthusiasm, stating that the discovery demonstrates the un...

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

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 Big Bang...

SHOCKING! James Webb Space Telescope suffers a mysterious glitch

Houston, we have a problem! The NASA James Webb Space Telescope is facing a mysterious issue in deep space. The JWST has played a pivotal role in capturing unseen images from distant space and helping scientists explore the universe more than ever before since it became operational last year. But now, one of its key instruments, the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI), has suffered a sensor glitch. The glitch was caught during a routine performance monitoring and calibration procedure by NASA. Know how it can affect the performance of the James Webb telescope.On April 21, NASA posted in its blog, “This month, while performing calibration by comparing the brightness of standard stars that have been well-cataloged by other observatories to what Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) was receiv...

Galaxies spotted by Webb telescope rewrite understanding of early universe

Observations by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope are upending the understanding of the early universe, indicating the presence of large and mature but remarkably compact galaxies teeming with stars far sooner than scientists had considered possible. Astronomers said data obtained by the telescope reveals what appear to be six big galaxies as mature as our Milky Way existing about 540 million to 770 million years after the explosive Big Bang that kicked off the universe 13.8 billion years ago. The universe was roughly 3% of its current age at the time. These galaxies, one of which appears to have a mass rivaling our Milky Way but 30 times more densely packed, seem to differ in fundamental ways from those populating the universe today. "Oh, they are radically different - truly b...
