Distant Galaxies Crash to Produce Massive Sonic Boom, Could Reveal Secrets About the Universe: Report
The galaxy NGC 7318b has collided with its neighbours in Stephan’s Quintet, creating one of the most powerful shockwaves observed in space. The resulting debris, glowing plasma, and star formation are being studied using advanced spectrographic tools, offering rare insights into galaxy formation and evolution.

James Webb Space Telescope Finds Distant Galaxy That May Hold Clues to Early Universe
A recent discovery by the James Webb Telescope has uncovered a rare galaxy, offering new perspectives on how stars and galaxies formed in the early universe. Located a billion years after the Big Bang, this galaxy's unusual characteristics suggest it could hold the key to understanding a crucial stage in cosmic development.

Scientists Aim to Peer Into Oldest of Star-Forming Galaxies in New Project
A new project by the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) aim sat peering into the most elusive galaxies in the universe. This is likely to help astronomers paint a clearer and more comprehensive picture of the universe's history of star formation. The instrument will also help detect those galaxies that are too dim and are obscured by cosm...

A Cosmic Time Machine: How the James Webb Space Telescope Lets Us See the First Galaxies in the Universe
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope sent back breathtaking photos of our universe last week, including ones that give us a chance to see faint distant galaxies as they were more than 13 billion years ago. The JWST photos also raise interesting points about how the expansion of the Universe factors into the way we calculate distances at a cosmologic...

NASA’s James Webb Telescope to Help Study Early Cosmic History, Identify Life Outside Our Solar System
NASA recently revealed stunning images captured by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) earlier this week. Now the space agency’s most powerful space telescope will help scientists uncover the mysteries of the universe. Here’s how two projects, one studying the early history of the universe and another looking for life outside our solar system...
