The James Webb Space Telescope was launched into space to reveal the secrets of the universe, and scientists have already learned a lot with its aid. It is the farthest and oldest galaxy ever detected by any space telescope, NASA.
Telescope Discovery of Ancient Galaxy JADES-GS-z14-0
Named JADES-GS-z14-0, this galaxy is believed to have formed some 290 million years after the Big Bang, according to estimates.
Moreover, the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a few odd things about this world that are framed in the old universe. A supermassive system reaches out to 1,600 light-years across and sparkles splendidly.
Observations of Emitted Light and Gases
The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) onboard JWST observed the light coming from this galaxy and showed the presence of ionized gas.
According to scientists, oxygen may combine with hydrogen in this gas, which is surprising because up until now, people thought that there should be no oxygen present at such early times as those represented here.
Significance of the Discovery
Scientists involved in this research have stated that all the results suggest this galaxy is unlike any other known galaxy.
They mentioned the possibility that experts might use this telescope to discover even older and brighter galaxies in the future.
Previous Discoveries
The oldest black hole ever found in the universe was additionally seen by the James Webb Space Telescope.
In November of 2023, NASA Telescope made a statement about this black hole, which formed just 470 million years after the Big Bang.
Characteristics of the Ancient Black Hole Telescope
According to the statement, this black hole, which formed in the early universe, has never been observed before and could be 13.2 billion years old.
This black hole was found in a galaxy named UHZ1.
It could be 10 to 100 billion times larger than our Sun. Scientists noticed that while this isn’t the biggest dark opening known to humanity. Its size is strange for a dark opening framed in the early universe.
