James Webb telescope finds massive galaxies dating back to beginning of universe
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Astronomers have discovered what appear to be massive galaxies dating back to within 600 million years of the Big Bang, suggesting the early universe may have
By Ashley Strickland, CNN Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer back in time to the early days of the universe — and they spotted something unexpected. The space observatory revealed six massive galaxies that existed between 500 million and 700 million years after the big bang…
“The revelation that massive galaxy formation began extremely early in the history of the universe upends what many of us had thought was settled science,” said Pennsylvania State University’s Joel Leja, who took part in the study.
The James Webb Space Telescope spotted six gigantic galaxies, each roughly the size of our own Milky Way, that formed at a bafflingly fast pace — taking shape just 500 million years after the Big Bang.
At about 600 million years after the Big Bang, they're not the oldest galaxies the telescope has spotted. But they appear as developed as our Milky Way — far further along than researchers expected.
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted six massive galaxies that emerged not long after the Big Bang, a study said Wednesday, surprising scientists by forming at a speed that contradicts our current…
Researchers have discovered what seem to be massive galaxies dating back to within 600 million years of the Big Bang using data from the James Webb Space Telescope.
