Parting Ways with the Big Bang In September, an article published by Eric Lerner in Asia Times titled “Saying goodbye to the Big Bang” took the scientific world by storm. Lerner argued that vital astronomical evidence, including recent data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, contradicts the Big Bang theory. This forces even previously unwavering …
The results suggest that the conditions for rocky planet formation can occur in a possible broader range of environments than previously thought, and a study of the conditions in an inner disk of the extreme environment Lobster Nebula, a massive star-forming region, is crucial for understanding planetary formation. Webb, which has the sensitivity to study …
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have observed the luminous cloud of material that surrounds a newborn star, cocooning it in a crib of gas and dust. These so-called Herbig-Haro objects are created when stellar winds and jets of gas billow from newborn stars, causing shockwaves that slam into the gas and dust …
Astrophysicists using the NASA James Webb Space Telescope have made groundbreaking discoveries about teenage galaxies dating back to the first 2-3 billion years after the Big Bang. They found that these galaxies demonstrate unexpectedly high temperatures and contain elements such as nickel and oxygen, which are typically challenging to observe. This research is a part …
The James Webb space telescope, courtesy of NASA, continues to astound us with its groundbreaking discoveries about the universe. In a historic first, the telescope has detected methane in the atmosphere of an exoplanet. This remarkable find adds to the telescope’s previous observations of carbon dioxide and water vapor on distant exoplanets. The presence of …
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently detected both methane and water vapor in the atmosphere of an exoplanet similar in size and makeup to Jupiter, located about 163 light-years away. This discovery was made possible by observing the exoplanet, known as WASP-80 b, past its parent star, a red dwarf, using powerful infrared space …
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has unveiled a remarkable image of the Sagittarius C region near the core of the Milky Way. The detailed image reveals a densely packed area teeming with protostars and infrared-dark clouds, providing new insights into star formation dynamics in our galaxy’s center. This exceptional observation, depicted in the artist’s concept …
By Will Dunham WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The James Webb Space Telescope, operational since last year, has made groundbreaking observations of some of the universe’s earliest galaxies – what some astronomers have called “galactic infants.” Recent research has determined that Webb has collected even more detailed data on galaxies that are a little further along in …
The James Webb Space Telescope has recently discovered massive new features at the dense center of the Milky Way, a turbulent region of space, as announced by NASA on Monday. This extraordinary image showcases Sagittarius C, a star-forming area located about 300 light years from the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A, at the core of …
The James Webb Space Telescope recently unveiled an extraordinary image of the dense center of the Milky Way. It’s an incredibly chaotic sector of the universe, as described by NASA this Monday. The image spotlights Sagittarius C, a region about 300 light years away from the supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A, located at the Milky …
