  Astronomers Identify Black Hole Consuming Matter 40 Times Its Theoretical Limit

  Astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have discovered LID-568, a black hole that is consuming matter at a rate over 40 times the theoretical Eddington limit. This discovery, made in a galaxy formed only 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, sheds light on how supermassive black holes might have evolved rapidly in the early universe. R...

  NASA's Webb and Hubble Capture Spooky, ‘Blood-Soaked Eyes’ Galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207

  NASA's Hubble and James Webb telescopes have captured the breathtaking merger of galaxies IC 2163 and NGC 2207, located 80 million light-years away. This captivating process, described as a “blood-soaked” cosmic dance, showcases the ongoing star formation occurring between the galaxies as they interact. With an impressive rate of star birth and...

  JWST Spots Isolated Supermassive Black Hole-Powered Quasars in the Early Universe

  A team using the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered supermassive black hole-powered quasars in unexpectedly isolated environments. These lonely quasars, some of the earliest in the universe, present a mystery as they lack the dense surroundings that current theories suggest are needed for black hole growth. This discovery is pushing scientis...

  NASA James Webb Space Telescope Unearths Oversupply of UV Light from Early Stars and Black Holes

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed surprising new details about the universe's reionization process. The telescope has found an unexpected oversupply of ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by early stars and giant black holes, contradicting previous theories. This discovery suggests a more complex reionization process, potentially d...

  James Webb Space Telescope Discoveries Challenge Theories About Asteroid Psyche’s Origin

  Recent findings from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have introduced new uncertainties about asteroid 16 Psyche. Known for its high iron content, Psyche was previously considered a potential remnant of a protoplanet, providing a valuable opportunity to study the early solar system. However, JWST has detected hydrated minerals on its surface, ...

  James Webb Telescope Captures First Image of Aligned Protostellar Outflows

  NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has made a significant discovery with its latest image of the Serpens Nebula, taken on June 20, 2024. This image showcases aligned protostellar outflows—jets of gas expelled by newborn stars—all pointing in the same direction. Serpens Nebula, a reflection nebula, reflects light from nearby stars rather than e...
