What do JWST's "red monster" galaxies mean for cosmology?

JWST's discoveries of ultra-distant galaxies challenge existing cosmic models, leading to new questions about early Universe star formation and galaxy formation.

Astronomers Finally Discovered Why WASP-107 b Is So Gassy, Bloated, and Distended

Exoplanet WASP-107 b is unusually 'puffy' due to its low mass, hot atmosphere with little methane, and a core heavier than previously thought.

Youngest Milky Way-like galaxy rotates just like we do

The discovery of mature rotating galaxy REBELS-25 challenges existing theories on galaxy formation timelines.

What JWST found in the extreme outer Milky Way

JWST's observations spotlight new star formation in the galaxy's sparse outskirts, revealing the potential for future solar systems.

What JWST found beneath the Sombrero galaxy's hat

The Sombrero galaxy uniquely combines features of spiral and elliptical galaxies, housing immense mass and numerous stars while showcasing its end-stage evolution.

Why hasn't JWST broken the cosmic distance record by more?

The quest for the most distant galaxies reveals the evolving nature of cosmic records established by advanced observational tools.

The biggest holes in NASA's suite of observatories

Even with advanced technology, Earth's atmosphere limits our ability to observe the Universe across most electromagnetic wavelengths.

JWST finds distant galaxy with "impossible" light signature

JWST's findings challenge previous astronomical theories about early galaxy formation and light propagation.
The discovery of the bright Lyman-α line from JADES-GS-z13-1-LA raises questions about light-blocking atoms' behavior in the early Universe.

How Galaxies Grew In the Early Universey

JWST captured early galaxies forming from hydrogen gas 13 billion light years away.

The Webb Telescope Just Solved a 37-Year-Old Space Explosion Mystery

SN 1987a resulted in a neutron star, not a black hole.
Scientists used data from the JWST to confirm the presence of the neutron star in SN 1987a.
