James Webb Telescope reveals groundbreaking cosmic discoveries
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made significant discoveries since its launch in December 2021. It can observe the universe back to 13.5 billion years ago, revealing new details about black holes and galaxies. Recent findings include the active behavior of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, which shows unpredictable flares. JWST also captured intricate structures of interstellar dust and identified a new class of galaxies, dubbed "Little Red Dots," containing supermassive black holes. Additionally, JWST discovered the most distant known black hole in galaxy GN-z11, located 32 billion light-years away. It also revealed that many early galaxies were flattened, resembling "pool noodles," and identified a binary star system, WL 20, previously thought to be a single star.
