Recent findings on the exoplanet named WASP-107b have uncovered a strange and unusual world that has intrigued astronomers since its discovery in 2017. The giant gas planet located 200 million lightyears away with a “fluffy” and light composition resembling cotton candy, has been discovered through recent observations to be an even stranger world than previously …
Get the latest in scientific discoveries and news from our Wonder Theory science newsletter.Explore the universe with news on fascinating discoveries, scientific advancements and more. An intriguing discovery in the far reaches of the universe has astronomers buzzing. The galaxy ceers-2112, which bears a striking resemblance to our very own Milky Way, is challenging established …
discovered ten extremely distant galaxies since its launch in 2022, and we were lucky that JWST was able to capture one of the few windows toward the early universe.” The discovery of these two galaxies was challenging and required several innovative astronomical techniques, including advanced image processing and detailed modeling. The researchers hope that future …
James Webb Space Telescope Supports the Formation of Planets from Drifting Icy Pebbles The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed that icy pebbles are responsible for the formation of planets, delivering evidence to support this theory. These icy pebbles are believed to migrate toward newborn stars from the cooler regions of the disks surrounding them. …
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team led by scientists from the Centro de Astrobiología in Spain, including astronomer Alexander de la Vega of the University of California, Riverside (UCR), has discovered the most distant barred spiral galaxy, ceers-2112, observed to date. This groundbreaking find challenges prior assumptions about galaxy evolution, revealing that …
In a galaxy far, far away, astronomers have made an astonishing discovery – the presence of a galaxy that remarkably resembles our very own Milky Way. Dubbed the ceers-2112, this newly found spiral galaxy first appeared in the universe when it was a mere two billion years old. To their amazement, researchers noticed that its …
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made a groundbreaking discovery by capturing the rare sight of planet-forming disks releasing a cold “steam,” supporting a leading theory on the formation of planets. The water vapor was found in two compact disks surrounding young stars just 2 to 3 million years old, within the Taurus star-forming …
Shattering Records: The Newly Found Black Hole The galaxy cluster, Abell 2744, is home to the distant galaxy UHZ1, which formed just 470 million years after the Big Bang. Imaged by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory with the James Webb Space Telescope, the cosmic marvel offers a glimpse of the blue glow of X-rays from the …
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb) has revolutionized astronomers’ understanding of the universe by accurately determining the distance of nearly 200 galaxies and galaxy clusters that formed in the early stages of its existence. In a groundbreaking move, the JWST released its very first image on July 11, 2022, capturing a mesmerizing deep …
Like any object, black holes take time to grow and form. And like a 6-foot-tall toddler, Fan’s supersize black holes were too big for their age—the universe wasn’t old enough for them to have accrued billions of suns of heft. To explain those overgrown toddlers, physicists were forced to consider two distasteful options. Decades ago, …
