'Astonishing': James Webb telescope spots the most chemically primitive galaxy in the ancient universe

'Astonishing': James Webb telescope spots the most chemically primitive galaxy in the ancient universe The James Webb telescope peered into an ancient spot of light, and found it to be the most metal-poor galaxy in the early universe. One of the greatest achievements of the James Webb Space Telescope is how it has allowed scientists to push the boundaries of astronomy by observing galaxies that existed during the early universe, less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang. This period,...

James Webb telescope detects most distant dormant black hole, invisible in all wavelengths and weighing as much as 6 billion suns

James Webb telescope detects most distant dormant black hole, invisible in all wavelengths and weighing as much as 6 billion suns JWST found a black hole hiding in a galaxy more than 10 billion light-years away from Earth, and used a cosmic magnifying glass to determine its mass. The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted the most distant, dormant black hole in the known universe , hiding in a galaxy more than 10 billion light-years from Earth. The newly analyzed black hole, located in a...

James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass

James Webb Space Telescope weighs 'sleeping giant' black hole from 10 billion light-years away — and it's 6 billion times our sun's mass "We can now undertake a more complete census of how black holes develop over time and infer their role in shaping galaxy evolution." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have "weighed" a sleeping giant — a dormant supermassive black hole located a staggering 10 billion light-years away. That makes this black hole the most distant...

NASA's Webb detects methane and strange chemistry on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS

NASA's Webb detects methane and strange chemistry on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS - Date: - June 4, 2026 - Source: - NASA - Summary: - NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has uncovered unusual chemistry in interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, including the first direct detection of methane on a visitor from another star system. The comet also contains exceptionally high levels of carbon dioxide, making it unlike most comets born in our solar system. Scientists believe the methane was hidden beneath the...
