Breathtaking James Webb Space Telescope Photos Of 2024

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) produces stunning images of distant galaxies, nebulae, exoplanets, and star formations with exceptional clarity.

Webb Telescope Discovered An Ancient Black Hole With A Voracious Appetite

A newly discovered black hole is consuming matter at 40 times the Eddington limit, demonstrating extraordinary brightness beyond expected limits.

NASA's James Webb spots a giant penguin and its egg in space

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured detailed image of two galaxies resembling a penguin and an egg 326 million light-years away.

'Overmassive' Black Holes Dominated Early Galaxies, Study Finds

Early supermassive black holes in ancient galaxies are smaller than those in our nearby universe but appear too big compared to the mass of stars in their host galaxies.
These early black holes were likely spawned by collapsing gas clouds and were more massive than their galaxies, but galaxies gained stellar mass over time.

Daily Telescope: A new Webb image reveals a cosmos full of galaxies

Deep-field image from the James Webb Space Telescope showcasing galaxies.
Universe teeming with galaxies in a cosmos almost incomprehensibly large.

Hubble Detects Uber-Strong Radio Transmission From Ancient "Blob"

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed the possible birthplace of the most distant fast radio burst ever observed.
The fast radio burst originated from a group of at least seven galaxies that existed when the universe was five billion years old.

What created more light: the Big Bang or stars?

The Universe, 13.8 billion years old, contains an estimated 6 to 20 trillion galaxies, with much of its star-formation history rooted in the past.

Look! This Warped Galaxy Is Erupting With New Stars From Inside Its Tail

Galaxy AM 1054-325 has a distorted shape due to its close encounter with another galaxy.
The tidal tail of the galaxy is where new stars are forming due to the interactions between galaxies.

Does dark matter interact non-gravitationally at all?

Dark matter and dark energy are essential components to explain discrepancies between observations and traditional cosmic models.

Simulations reveal the hidden behaviors of dark matter

A new theory suggests that colder dark matter moved at slow velocities while standard matter streamed past it at supersonic speeds, leading to the formation of small, bright galaxies earlier than previously thought.
The presence of small, bright galaxies in the early universe would confirm the cold dark matter model, as only the velocity between two types of matter can produce this type of galaxy.

Hubble Snaps Alarming Pic of Two Galaxies Crashing Into Each Other

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of two massive galaxies colliding with each other.
This collision, known as 'Arp 122,' could eventually form a singular structure of dust, gas, and dark matter in hundreds of millions of years.

NGC 1356, LEDA 467699, LEDA 95415, and IC 1947 are the galaxies featured in the image.
The galaxies in the image may appear close together, but they are actually millions of light-years apart.

Messy Plasma Streams Explain Supermassive Black Holes Influence On Galaxies

Supermassive black holes have different feeding habits, but emit the same radiation, which could help explain their influence on galaxies.
A new study found that black holes with different appetites glow in the same way, regardless of the amount and manner of matter falling into them.
