‘James Webb’ discovers too much metal in very old galaxies – refutes theories about the evolution of the universe
Detailed analysis of light from galaxies that existed early in the formation of the universe has revealed the highest levels of metals at that time.…
Between giants and dwarfs: Why don’t astronomers find medium-sized exoplanets?
Scientists have determined where the gap in statistics for Earth-like bodies is coming from. Outside our solar system, there are distant planets, also called exoplanets.…
James Webb discovers the largest galaxy cluster embryo in the early universe
There is nothing larger than a galaxy cluster in the known universe, but how galaxy clusters form remains largely a mystery to scientists. The surest…
Why did spiral galaxies disappear from the supergalactic plane?
