"I was astonished by the unexpected results because they opened a new view on the first phases of galaxy evolution," Stefano Carniani, an astronomer at the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa in ...

Scientists studying one of the earliest known galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope have found that the universe's Era of Reionization may have occurred much earlier than previously thought.

Scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified an ancient and faraway galaxy that provides evidence that an ...

The Big Wheel galaxy formed just 1.7 billion years after the Big Bang, at a time when the universe was only 15% of its current age.

Kornmesser illustration Scientists using two enormous telescopes — one on Earth and the other in space — have detected oxygen in the most ancient known galaxy, a star-scape beaming light just ...

Researchers find that stars in the universe create "music" by vibrations, unlocking the past history, evolution, and internal ...

JADES-GS-z14-0, the farthest known galaxy, has oxygen, a heavier element than scientists would expect to find just 300 million years after the Big Bang.

JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant confirmed galaxy ever found. New observations from 2 different teams of astronomers shows that the galaxy has oxygen, making scientists rethink (again!) how galaxies ...
