‘Webb Space Telescope’ traces early galaxies after universe’s formation

Cape Canaveral (US), Nov 18 (AP) US space agency NASA’s ‘Webb Space Telescope’ has detected such glowing and early galaxies, which were not yet seen and one of these galaxies is the creator of the universe. ‘Big Bang’ means it was probably formed 350 million years after the great explosion.

Astronomers said on Thursday that if these results are confirmed, this new galaxy would have formed even earlier than the most distant galaxy detected by the Hubble Space Telescope, which was formed 400 million years after the formation of the universe.

The Webb telescope was sent into space last December to replace the Hubble telescope. The Webb telescope signals that star formation may have begun much earlier than previously thought.

Webb’s latest discoveries have been detailed in the Astrophysical Journal Letters by an international team led by Rohan Naidu of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. This article provides detailed information about two exceptionally bright galaxies. The first of these galaxies is believed to have formed 350 million years after the Big Bang and the second galaxy 450 million years later.

Naidu said more observations in the infrared are needed by Webb before it can be claimed to be the most distant.

“It remains one of the most intriguing questions about when the first galaxies formed,” the journal said.

NASA scientist Jane Rigby said that these galaxies were hidden from Hubble.

He said, “She was waiting for us. It is a pleasant surprise that there are many galaxies yet to be studied.
