Astronomers Discover Most Distant And Powerful Odd Radio Circle In The Universe
A rare discovery in deep space has stunned astronomers: twin radio rings surrounding a galaxy about 7 billion light-years away. Known as an odd radio circle (ORC), this is the most distant and powerful ever found. Citizen scientists first spotted it, and LOFAR confirmed its existence, opening new insights into galactic and black hole evolution.

Earendel: JWST Suggests the Most Distant Star May Be a Star Cluster
Earendel, the farthest object ever seen, was first thought to be a single massive star from the early universe. New findings from JWST suggest it may instead be a star cluster, with many stars grouped together. Scientists used gravitational lensing to spot Earendel, which made its light appear thousands of times brighter.

Earliest Known Black Hole Found Just 500 Million Years After the Big Bang
Astronomers have confirmed the most distant black hole ever discovered, lurking in a compact galaxy just 500 million years after the Big Bang. Using the James Webb Space Telescope, the team identified clear spectroscopic evidence of the object, offering new insight into early black hole growth and their role in forming galaxies during the universe...

Webb Telescope Spots Possible Jellyfish Galaxy 12 Billion Light-Years Away
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a possible jellyfish galaxy about 12 billion light-years away. Named COSMOS2020-635829, it shows tentacle-like streams of gas and stars trailing off one side—likely formed through ram pressure stripping in a dense cluster. If confirmed, it would be the most distant jellyfish galaxy ...

Most Distant Mini-Halo Discovered in Galaxy Cluster 10 Billion Light-Years Away
Astronomers have uncovered the most distant mini-halo ever detected, located around the galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, a staggering 10 billion light-years from Earth. Using the LOFAR radio telescope network, which spans eight European countries, researchers detected a faint, diffuse glow—evidence of a giant cloud of high-energy particles and magnetic...

Fast Radio Bursts Reveal Universe’s Missing Matter Hidden in Cosmic Intergalactic Fog
Astronomers have uncovered the universe’s missing baryonic matter using rapid radio bursts. The study, published in Nature Astronomy, shows that most ordinary matter lies between galaxies, hidden in faint intergalactic clouds. This breakthrough highlights FRBs as powerful tools to probe cosmic structures, paving the way for discoveries in large-s...

Astronomers "Astonished" After Oxygen Detected In Most Distant Galaxy
Oxygen has been detected in the most distant galaxy ever discovered, surprised astronomers said Thursday, offering further evidence that stars in the early universe matured far quicker than had been thought possible.

Distant Galaxies Crash to Produce Massive Sonic Boom, Could Reveal Secrets About the Universe: Report
The galaxy NGC 7318b has collided with its neighbours in Stephan’s Quintet, creating one of the most powerful shockwaves observed in space. The resulting debris, glowing plasma, and star formation are being studied using advanced spectrographic tools, offering rare insights into galaxy formation and evolution.

Here's How James Webb Space Telescope Helps Us Look Back in Time
The James Webb Space Telescope allows astronomers to explore the universe’s history by observing light that has travelled across billions of light-years. This unique capability enables scientists to see how galaxies, stars, and other celestial bodies appeared billions of years ago, offering a glimpse into the early stages of the universe. By stud...

Webb Telescope May Have Discovered Most Distant Known Galaxy, Says NASA
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered what appears to be a new record-holder for the most distant known galaxy, a remarkably bright star system that existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang, NASA said Thursday.
