NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have teamed up to identify a new possible example of a ...

Black holes played a critical role in the formation of the early universe. However, astronomers have been debating for a long ...

The earliest galaxies are thought to have formed as the gravitational pull of dark matter, which has been impossible to study directly, slowly drew in enough hydrogen and helium to ignite stars.

The JWST has done it again. The powerful space telescope has already revealed the presence of bright galaxies only several hundred million years after the Big Bang. Now, it's sensed light from a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope could target tiny and bright galaxies in the early universe to unveil some secrets about the universe's most mysterious stuff, dark matter.

When researchers glimpsed the first images and data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), humanity’s largest and most powerful space telescope, they noticed something peculiar. A large number of ...

Even though the remaining galaxies aren’t wildly bright any more, they are still much more numerous than expected. There are roughly twice as many massive galaxies found as had been predicted.

Strangely bright galaxies spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), called “little red dots”, may have more stars packed into them than any other galaxies we know of.

Yet, in 2023, the JWST spotted a shocking number of large and bright galaxies just 500 million years after the Big Bang, when the universe was only around 3% of its current age of 13.8 billion years.

This process, he said, is likely why Webb's detectors have spotted more of these black holes and bright galaxies than scientists anticipated. "We can't quite see these violent winds or jets far, far ...

Jan 31, 2024: Bright galaxies put dark matter to the test (Nanowerk News) For the past year and a half, the James Webb Space Telescope has delivered astonishing images of distant galaxies formed not ...
