Webb Space Telescope Spots Early Galaxies Hidden From Hubble

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—NASA’s Webb Space Telescope is finding bright, early galaxies that until now were hidden from view, including one that may have formed a mere 350 million years after the cosmic-creating Big Bang. Astronomers said Thursday that if the results are verified, this newly discovered throng of stars would beat the most distant galaxy…


Hubble Telescope Reveals Huge Star’s Explosion in Blow-by-Blow Detail

WASHINGTON—About 11.5 billion years ago, a distant star roughly 530 times larger than our sun died in a cataclysmic explosion that blew its outer layers of gas into the surrounding cosmos, a supernova documented by astronomers in blow-by-blow detail.

Hubble Space Telescope Captures Mysterious ‘Dead Galaxies’ 11 Billion Light-Years Away

Extraordinary images captured by Hubble Space Telescope and ALMA observatory—utilizing unique natural gravitational lensing—revealed a remarkable phenomenon which occurred in space 11 billion years ago. Early in the life of the universe, when it was just 3 billion years old and stars were forming abundantly, a cluster of galaxies mysteriously died out and stopped producing stars for some unknown…
