ISRAEL AT WAR - DAY 471

Big Bang theory

In paradigm shift, Webb telescope spots ‘monster’ galaxies formed in early universe
Scientists thought it was an error when they saw super bright dots, indicating fully mature galaxies just 600 million years after Big Bang, suggesting previously unknown fast track

Webb telescope spies likely oldest galaxies ever found, upending cosmic timeline
Two super-bright galaxies from universe’s earliest years point to stars possibly being formed 100 million years before previously thought, though more data needed to verify claim

Illustrative: This image provided by NASA on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, shows Stephan's Quintet, a visual grouping of five galaxies captured by the Webb Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This mosaic was constructed from almost 1,000 separate image files, according to NASA. (NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI via AP)

Peering back in time, Webb telescope may have found most distant known galaxy
Images from orbiting system reveal indications of GLASS-z13, a galaxy that existed 13.5 billion years ago, just 300 million years after Big Bang

This image provided by the National Science Foundation shows a rendering of how the first stars in the universe might have looked. Scientists have detected a signal from 180 million years after the Big Bang when the earliest stars began glowing. The findings were published on February 28, 2018 in the journal Nature.

Scientists, from left, Clem Pryke, Jamie Bock, Chao-Lin Kuo and John Kovac smile during a news conference at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., Monday, March 17, 2014, regarding their new findings on the early expansion of the universe. Scientists say that the universe was born almost 14 billion years ago, exploding into existence in an event called the Big Bang. Now these researchers say they’ve spotted evidence that a split-second later, the expansion of the cosmos got a powerful-jump start. Experts called the discovery a major advance if confirmed.
