NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured the earliest evidence of light shining through the cosmos. An international team of researchers used JWST to observe an ancient galaxy that ...

"Background radiation is the light that lies behind everything else in the universe – behind stars and galaxies. This light has longer wavelengths than our eyes can perceive, and that's why space ...

JADES-GS-z13-1, observed shortly after the Big Bang, emits light that shouldn't be visible. This discovery, made possible by the James Webb Space Telescope, challenges our understanding of the ...

JADES is one of the most distant galaxies in the known universe. Its light had to travel nearly 13.5 billion light-years to reach JWST, which also means that this galaxy is almost as ancient as ...

As light takes millions of years to travel the vast distances of the universe, looking out into space is a bit like looking back in time. Could that tell us what the universe was like just after ...

Exploring space reveals more and more information that leads humanity toward understanding universe secrets. Future generations’ scientific research follows the light that arrived from the past.

Once the resonance ramped up, the regions of high dark matter density would convert into photons, creating a course of light in the universe before the appearance of the first stars. But there's ...

The universe tells us its story mainly through light and other wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. We learn about the planets, stars, and galaxies by their light—visible light, and also ...

effectively “turning on the lights” in the cosmos. “The universe, after the Big Bang, was a soup of hydrogen, helium and dark matter, slowly cooling off. Eventually, the universe was in a state where ...
