Image from James Webb telescope captures heart of Milky Way in ‘unprecedented detail’ | Science & Tech News
admin
A new image from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope reveals never-before-seen features at the centre of the Milky Way. It shows a portion of the centre of our galaxy about 25,000 light years from Earth in “unprecedented detail”. It will allow astronomers to learn more about how stars are formed in an “extreme cosmic environment”,…

Euclid telescope on mission to find invisible dark forces manipulating the universe sends back first images | Science & Tech News
admin
Europe’s new space telescope has sent back its first dazzling images – and will now begin peering into the invisible dark forces manipulating the universe. The Euclid telescope will observe the shapes, distances and movements of billions of galaxies up to 10 billion light years away to create the largest-ever 3D map of the cosmos.…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope provides revelations into how early galaxies formed | Science & Tech News
admin
A study into the formation of early galaxies has upended long-held theories about the evolution of the universe. Using NASA‘s powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of international researchers looked back at some which formed 10 billion years ago or more. It was a time when astronomers had believed our own Milky Way…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope finds signs of ‘building blocks for life’ in icy clouds | Science & Tech News
admin
Molecular species that form the “building blocks for life” have been found in a deep space region of icy clouds. Using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, a team of astronomers and scientists confirmed the presence of methane and ethanol, as well as small compounds with nitrogen and sulphur. On Earth, sources of methane include emissions…
