Ancient Galaxies Are a 'Stress Test' for Established Physics, Study Says
The view of the ancient universe revealed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), the most powerful observatory ever launched, is so unexpected that scientists think it might pose a fundamental challenge to our basic understanding of the cosmos, reports a new study.
The telescope has glimpsed inexplicably massive galaxies that formed some 500 to 700 million years after the Big Bang, leaving researchers baffled about how such galactic behemoths managed to emerge so early in cosmic history.

In Five Years, China Will Start Building a Lunar Base With Bricks Made From Moon Soil
China plans to start building a lunar base in about five years, kicking off with bricks made of moon soil, according to scientists with ties to the project, the South China Morning Post reported.
Ding Lieyun, a top scientist at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, told local media that the first brick would be made from moon soil during the Chang'e 8 mission around 2028.
China has previously said its lunar base will likely be powered by nuclear energy, and will include a lander, hopper, orbiter and rover, all of which would be constructed by the Chang'e 6, 7 and 8 missions.
