Image Source : NASA Webb telescope to help you find Milky Way-like galaxies in early universe It has been reported that a team of astronomers have been using the powerful James Webb Space Telescope which is capable of capturing the most distant barred spiral galaxy which is similar to the Milky Way, as per the observation to date. Until now it was believed that…

The apparently empty spaces in our universe are not truly devoid of matter. Instead, they are often occupied by clouds of gas and cosmic dust. These dust clouds consist of diverse-sized grains with different compositions, originating from various processes such as supernova events. That's why, this cosmic material plays a vital role in the evolution of the universe, acting as the building blocks for new stars and planets. In the latest development to detect these crucial grains, NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has…

NASA had some incredible updates to share this week, including the Parker Solar Probe's journey around the Sun, the James Webb Telescope's newest find and the communication with the Mars helicopter. Let's dive into the details!Webb Telescope spots farthest active supermassive “Black Hole” everScientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to find the farthest active supermassive black hole discovered so far. This black hole is smaller than any other black hole found in the early universe. It was located in a galaxy that…

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…

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…

For the first time, astronomers think they’ve spotted two pairs of merging dwarf galaxies, with each pair sporting a duo of soon-to-collide black holes. The observations could reveal new details about the early formation of large galaxies like our own Milky Way, as well as the supermassive black holes that lurk at their centers. Despite their relatively small size, dwarf galaxies pack a hefty scientific punch. Thought to be the most abundant galaxy type during the first several hundred million years after the big bang,…

Groundbreaking discovery: Scientists detect radio signals from galaxy 9 Billion light-years away from EarthScientists have made an exciting discovery by capturing a specific type of radio signal from a galaxy located almost 9 billion light-years away from Earth. The galaxy, named SDSSJ0826+5630, was found to be emitting a radio signal with a specific wavelength called the "21 cm line," also known as the hydrogen line. This signal is emitted by hydrogen atoms and is used by astronomers to identify the location of galaxies…

NASA’s James Webb Telescope has managed to capture first-of-its-kind galaxies with stellar bars. It has thereby revealed an astonishing space secret. NASA's latest and most expensive James Webb Space Telescope is outdoing the Hubble Space Telescope in every way. That was expected, since the tech on Hubble Telescope is decades old. In the latest development, the images from the James Webb Telescope reveals galaxies with stellar bars—elongated features of stars stretching from the centers of galaxies into their outer…

One of the most mysterious entities in the universe, Quasi-stars have perplexed astronomers for years over their existence. But what would happen if it ever entered our solar system? Find out. It is only when you look deep into space is when you realize how infinitely vast it is and how astoundingly large objects it carries within it. We all know that compared to the outer planets and the Sun, the size of Earth becomes insignificantly small. But even our Sun, which is the largest celestial body in the solar system,…

Astronomers had a rare opportunity to observe a galaxy in the early universe that is providing its surroundings with the building blocks required to create later generations of stars and galaxies, thanks to a fortunate cosmic alignment. The experts have found that the distant galaxy has been spewing elements required for the formation of galaxies and stars. The galaxy, A1689-zD1, was seen with gas flowing over its edges and is said to be the earliest known-run-of-the-mill galaxy. It was spotted in light magnified by a…
