‘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.…
