Astronomers used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and estimated this effect Albert Einstein More than 100 years ago, we discovered that small galaxies in the early universe had a massive impact that shaped the entire universe when it was less than 1 billion years old. The international team found that galaxies similar to the… Read More »
If the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) investigates small, bright galaxies in the early universe, it could shed light on dark matter, the most mysterious substance in the universe. That’s the conclusion reached by University of California scientists who ran a cosmos simulation tracing the formation of small galaxies dating back to shortly after the… Read More »
A river of hydrogen gas flows outward from the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two dwarf galaxies located on the outskirts of the Milky Way. The contents of this river, called the Magellanic Stream, have puzzled astronomers for decades. But now, for the first time, a team of researchers has been able to locate stars… Read More »
Some of the largest, densest regions of star formation are found in the smallest galaxies, and scientists believe this is because stars that reach the end of their lives in so-called dwarf galaxies are more likely to collapse into black holes rather than explode. supernovae. The team says that the contrast is large enough that… Read More »
