James Webb Space Telescope makes groundbreaking discoveries that reshape understanding of the universe in 2024

In 2024, the James Webb Space Telescope made significant discoveries that changed our understanding of the universe. It found ancient galaxies that are larger and brighter than expected, suggesting a more active early universe and raising questions about galaxy formation. The telescope also observed massive black holes colliding just 740 million years after the Big Bang. This challenges current theories, as these black holes should not have formed so quickly. Additionally, Webb confirmed ongoing discrepancies in measuring the universe's expansion rate, known as the Hubble tension. Another notable finding was a cloud of carbon formed only 350 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that essential ingredients for life may have existed much earlier than previously thought. Webb continues to search for the first generation of stars, which could provide further insights into the universe's early history.
