Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope have made groundbreaking discoveries in galaxy GN-z11, which is one of the most distant and luminous galaxies known. They identified a supermassive black hole responsible for the galaxy’s brightness and found a pristine gas clump that may lead to the discovery of the universe’s first stars, providing significant insights into cosmic evolution.

A cat video was streamed by the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) from almost 20 million miles away, or 40 round trip flights to the moon, using laser communication.NASA engineers gathered at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, on December 11, to view a video of one of the lab’s employee’s cats named Taters.For the first time, the high-definition video was streamed from 18.6 million miles away, or roughly 80 times the distance from the Earth to the moon, the farthest stream…

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…

Supermassive black holes are incredibly powerful objects in space that even have the power to hold galaxies together with their strong gravity. They have the ability to destroy anything that comes too close to them. And luckily enough, the James Webb Telescope has discovered the farthest supermassive black hole known so far.The distances in space are unbelievably huge. According to the University of Texas at Austin, the new supermassive black hole is located at the center of a galaxy called CEERS 1019. Amazingly, this…

Are you there, God? Crate Entertainment has revealed what it has in store for the August update of their Early Access survival city-builder, Farthest Frontier. The headline feature here is a new religion system, but it also promises paper industry and guild halls. Farthest Frontier is coming up on a year in early access. It’s a “colony sim” or a “survival city builder.” This burgeoning sub-genre has followed in the wake of the success of 2014’s Banished. It seems a lot of developers felt tired of waiting for a sequel to…

Astronomers imaging the cosmos with the Webb Space Telescope have found the most distant active supermassive black hole yet. The black hole was “seen” as it was around 570 million years after the Big Bang.Webb Telescope Images the Pillars of CreationThe universe is about 13.77 billion years old, meaning the newly discovered black hole popped up when the universe was just over 4% its current age. The black hole lurks within the galaxy CEERS 1019, and at ninemillion solar masses, is the least massive of any supermassive…

The Earth orbits the Sun in an elliptical manner and that means there is a time in the year that it comes very close to the Sun and then goes to the farthest distance away from it. However, far does not mean it alters things significantly. The difference is minimal, but nevertheless, very much there. Well, this is the time of Aphelion. On July 6, the Earth will be the farthest from the Sun. You would think this would make the Earth cooler, but no such thing. Despite this fact, the Northern Hemisphere often encounters…

On flight day 11, NASA'S Orion spacecraft captured imagery looking back at the Earth from a camera mounted on one of its solar arrays. Image: NASANASA's Orion spacecraft has just reached 268,563 miles from Earth — the farthest it will go during the uncrewed Artemis I mission. Orion is now about 20,000 miles farther from Earth than the farthest the Apollo 13 spacecraft travelled during its 1970 mission. Apollo 13 was deemed a "successful failure" because NASA brought the crew safely back to Earth after aborting its…

NASA's Artemis 1 mission notched up a new record today when it reached the farthest distance from Earth achieved by a human-rated spacecraft, breaking the previous record set by Apollo 13 on April 15, 1970. At about 4 pm EST, the uncrewed Orion spacecraft reached a distance of 268,563 miles (432,200 km) from Earth, as it sent back images that included the craft, the Earth, and the Moon in one shot.Today's event also marked the halfway point for the 25.5-day Artemis 1 mission as Orion traverses a distant retrograde orbit…

Using a novel technique, scientists from the Nagoya University of Japan have observed dark matter from the farthest reaches of the universe. They revealed the nature of dark matter around galaxies as seen 12 billion years ago. Due to the finite speed of light, when scientists observe distant galaxies, they see them the way they were billions of years in the past. Consider an even more distant source galaxy than the target galaxy being studied for its dark matter. The gravitational pull of the foreground galaxy, including…
