- 1James Webb telescope turns to distant galaxy Panoramic-z15●What is Webb observing? Target: Panoramic-z15 Target Category: High-Redshift Galaxies And The Distant Universe Research
The James Webb Space Telescope is currently observing Panoramic-z15, a high-redshift galaxy, as part of the PHOENIX research programme. The study aims to understand the emergence of dust, obscured star formation and interstellar medium physics at cosmic dawn, the era when the first stars and galaxies formed. Space enthusiasts are following the telescope's live observing schedule, which NASA publishes publicly.
- 2James Webb spots ultra-rare ring galaxy from early universe●James Webb telescope discovers ultra-rare ring galaxy just 2 billion years after the Big Bang
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an ultra-rare ring galaxy that formed just 2 billion years after the Big Bang. The finding offers astronomers a glimpse into galaxy formation in the early universe, as ring galaxies — where stars circle a hollow center — make up only a tiny fraction of known galaxies and are especially unexpected so soon after cosmic dawn.
