James Webb Space Telescope Finds What Killed Pablo's Galaxy: "Death By A Thousand Cuts"
The findings revealed that ALMA observations detected no carbon monoxide, indicating a severe lack of cold, star-forming gas.

A Massive Black Hole Starved Pablo’s Galaxy, Ending Its Star Formation
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope and ALMA have uncovered how a massive black hole shut down star formation in Pablo’s Galaxy. Powerful winds expelled gas at hundreds of kilometres per second, leaving almost no cold fuel behind. The findings suggest many early galaxies did not die explosively, but were slowly starved by their centr...

Astronomers Discover Shockingly Hot Young Galaxy Cluster That Defies Theory
Astronomers have identified an exceptionally hot galaxy cluster forming just 1.4 billion years after the Big Bang. Observations reveal gas temperatures far exceeding theoretical limits, suggesting an unexpectedly violent early formation. The discovery challenges standard models of galaxy cluster evolution and points to intense activity from starbur...

James Webb Telescope May Have Discovered Universe’s Earliest Supermassive Black Hole
James Webb may have discovered the universe’s earliest supermassive black hole in galaxy GHZ2. Observations reveal high-energy emission lines, challenging existing models of rapid black hole and galaxy growth. Upcoming JWST and ALMA studies aim to confirm AGN activity and refine our understanding of early cosmic evolution.

How Hot Was the Universe 7 Billion Years Ago? Scientists Now Have an Answer
Japanese astronomers using ALMA data have found the universe was about twice as hot 7 billion years ago, with a temperature of 5.13 K compared to today’s 2.7 K. The finding aligns perfectly with Big Bang predictions that the Universe cools as it expands, providing the most precise mid-epoch measurement yet and reinforcing confidence in standard c...

James Webb Telescope Spots Evidence of a Black Hole Carving a Massive Scar Through a Galaxy
Astronomers using JWST and ALMA discovered a 20,000-light-year-long contrail in galaxy NGC 3627. Scientists believe it was carved by a massive black hole traveling through the galactic disk, leaving behind a turbulent scar of dust and gas that may offer new clues to galaxy evolution.

Scientists Spotted the Largest Comet Lying in the Solar System’s Outskirts with Outbursting Gases
NASA confirms comet C/2014 UN271, the largest known from the Oort Cloud, is chemically active. Detected by ALMA from far beyond Neptune, the comet’s carbon monoxide jets offer rare insights into icy body chemistry and early solar system conditions.

Bizzare 'Failed Star' Planet Orbiting Double Star System in Milky Way Discovered by Researchers
Astronomers have discovered an exoplanet 90 degrees tilted around a special pair of eclipsing brown dwarfs. This uncommon "polar planet" challenges accepted wisdom on planet creation by presenting new insights on the dynamics of binary stars and the range of Milky Way planetary orbits.

James Webb Space Telescope Captures Hourglass Nebula LBN 483 in Stunning Detail
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured unprecedented details of LBN 483, a nebula located 650 light-years away. The striking hourglass-shaped structure results from outflows driven by a forming binary star system. JWST’s infrared imaging and ALMA’s radio observations reveal how stellar winds, jets, and magnetic fields sculpt the nebula ove...

Mysterious Icy Objects Found in Milky Way Baffle Astronomers: Everything You Need to Know
Astronomers have identified mysterious icy objects in the outer Milky Way, raising questions about their nature. These structures, composed of ice and gas, are located in a region where star formation is rare. Despite early detections dating back to 2006-2011, recent observations using the AKARI space telescope and the ALMA array in Chile have prov...
