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.

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...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope Releases First Pictures: All You Need to Know About the Device
The James Webb Space Telescope from NASA has released the first of many images that it has captured of the deep space. The first picture is the deepest and sharpest image taken of the universe until now. The image, showcasing the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, bending light from more distant galaxies behind it towards the observatory in a cosmic magnif...

Japan astronomers find most distant galaxy cluster
Japanese astronomers claimed to have found a cluster of galaxies 12.72 billion light-years away from Earth, which they claim is the most distant cluster ever discovered.Using a powerful telescope based in Hawaii, the team peered back through time to a point just one billion years after the Big Bang, the birth of the universe.
