Astronomers "Astonished" After Oxygen Detected In Most Distant Galaxy
Oxygen has been detected in the most distant galaxy ever discovered, surprised astronomers said Thursday, offering further evidence that stars in the early universe matured far quicker than had been thought possible.

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.

Here's How James Webb Space Telescope Helps Us Look Back in Time
The James Webb Space Telescope allows astronomers to explore the universe’s history by observing light that has travelled across billions of light-years. This unique capability enables scientists to see how galaxies, stars, and other celestial bodies appeared billions of years ago, offering a glimpse into the early stages of the universe. By stud...

Webb Telescope May Have Discovered Most Distant Known Galaxy, Says NASA
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy, a remarkably bright star system that existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said Thursday.

Astronomers Discover Milky Way Galaxy's Most-Distant Stars
Astronomers have detected in the stellar halo that represents the Milky Way's outer limits a group of stars more distant from Earth than any known within our own galaxy — almost halfway to a neighboring galaxy. The researchers said these 208 stars inhabit the most remote reaches of the Milky Way's halo, a spherical stellar cloud dominated by the...

Alien Megastructures? Cosmic Thumbprint? What’s Behind a James Webb Telescope Photo That Stumped Astronomers
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope captured an image of WR140, a distant extreme star system back in July, but the picture has stumped astronomers. WR140 is what’s called a Wolf-Rayet star. These are among the most extreme stars known. In a rare but beautiful display, they can sometimes emit a plume of dust into space stretching hundreds of times ...

Nearly Perfect Einstein Ring 12 Billion Light-Years Away Spotted by NASA’s Webb Space Telescope
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the world's biggest and most powerful space science telescope, captured an Einstein ring, which is located nearly 12 billion light-years away, is the result of the gravitational lensing phenomena caused by the gravitational field from a massive object wraps space and deflects light from a distant galaxy behind it.

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...

NASA's James Webb Telescope May Have Found Most Distant Known Galaxy
Just a week after its first images were shown to the world, the James Webb Space Telescope may have found a galaxy that existed 13.5 billion years ago.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Releases First Pictures: All You Need to Know About the Device
The James Webb Space Telescope from NASA has released the first of many images that it has captured of the deep space. The first picture is the deepest and sharpest image taken of the universe until now. The image, showcasing the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, bending light from more distant galaxies behind it towards the observatory in a cosmic magnif...
