NASA James Webb Space Telescope limbo galaxy data may change understanding of the universe

[ad_1] The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has spotted red spiral galaxies that may reveal insight into the early universe. This year has been full of new discoveries for NASA's most powerful telescope floating in space. The NASA James Webb Space Telescope has given us exciting views into the Pillars of Creation, the Tarantula Nebula and Carina Nebula, the Cartwheel galaxy and more. But it is not done yet. The space telescope has focused its lens on several rare red spiral galaxies that will help astronomers catch a glimpse of the early universe. This is not a new discovery and neither the farthest object to be spotted by the Webb telescope, but the powerful cameras have been able to capture a more detailed view of these galaxies. Read on for more details.According to a report by Spac...

Wow! James Webb Space Telescope shows galaxies may have formed far earlier than thought

[ad_1] The first galaxies may have formed far earlier than previously thought, according to observations from the James Webb Space Telescope. The first galaxies may have formed far earlier than previously thought, according to observations from the James Webb Space Telescope that are reshaping astronomers' understanding of the early universe.Researchers using the powerful observatory have now published papers in the journal Astrophysical Journal Letters, documenting two exceptionally bright, exceptionally distant galaxies, based on data gathered within the first few days of Webb going operational in July. Their extreme luminosity points to two intriguing possibilities, astronomers on a NASA press call said Thursday. The first is that these galaxies are very massive, with lots of low-m...
