Gas detected in star-forming regions of teenage galaxies was much hotter, at about 13,350 degrees C, than observed in galaxies today.
Since becoming operational last year, the James Webb Space Telescope has made groundbreaking observations involving some of the universe’s earliest galaxies.
James Webb Space Telescope
JWST is a space telescope designed to conduct infrared astronomy.
It is the largest and most powerful telescope ever built, and it is expected to revolutionize our understanding of the universe.
The JWST was launched on December 25, 2021, and it is now orbiting the Sun at a distance of about 1 million miles from Earth.
The telescope is equipped with four powerful instruments, which will be used to study a wide range of objects,
The first stars and galaxies that formed after the Big Bang
The atmospheres of exoplanets
The composition and structure of nebulae and star-forming regions
The dark matter and dark energy that make up most of the universe
The JWST is expected to make many important discoveries in the coming years.
It will help us to learn more about the early universe, the formation of stars and planets, and the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
