Astronomers Just Found a Half-Million Light Year Long Stream in the Early Universe

Astronomers have been looking for the source of the matter that makes up early galaxies for decades.Now, for the first time, astronomers have observed the cold, steady streams of gas that make up the raw material for stars.Despite the name, the filamentary stream surrounding and heading into the galaxy 4C 41.17- more than 10 billion light years away - is immense: a thin stream of cold carbon gas 100 kiloparsecs, or half a million light years, wide, and as massive as 140 billion suns.

The Webb Telescope Just Spotted A Torrential Sandstorm on This Bizarre Planet

Astronomers are just beginning to unpack the treasure trove of information that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has siphoned from a nearby world that orbits two stars.So far, they've already learned that the clouds of this world rain sand.These particles are very hot; a description of the new research from JWST's managerial base at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Maryland says that the high atmosphere of exoplanet VHS 1256 b is a place where "temperatures reach a scorching 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit (830 degrees Celsius)."

JWST peers into the atmosphere of an exoplanet bombarded by stellar radiation

This week, astronomers announced that they'd found evidence of chemical reactions in the atmosphere of an exoplanet 700 light years away from Earth.Researchers using the James Webb Space Telescope created a detailed chemical portrait of the scorching gases swirling around exoplanet WASP-39b.This "hot Saturn" planet orbits extremely close to its host star, meaning it has high temperatures of up to 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit or 900 degrees Celsius.

JWST snaps first chemical profile of an exoplanet atmosphere

The James Webb Space Telescope keeps opening the world to new science.This time it's the first molecular and chemical profile of an exoplanet atmosphere, complete with signs of active photochemical reactions.As part of the full chemical profile of exoplanet Wasp 39b, where earlier this summer Webb found clear evidence of carbon dioxide in an exoplanet atmosphere, NASA said the telescope picked up more CO2, as well as carbon monoxide, sodium, potassium and water vapor.
