James Webb Space Telescope spots ‘Cosmic Gems’ in the extremely early universe (video)
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered star clusters in the “Cosmic Gems” arc that existed just 460 million years after the Big Bang. This marks the first discovery of star clusters in an infant galaxy, seen as it was when the 13.8 billion-year-old universe was less than 500 million years old. […]
Atlanta center of US political universe once again with Biden-Trump debate
Joe Biden will debate Donald Trump on Thursday night in an unnerving repeat of the 2020 election cycle, and once again Atlanta is the center of the political universe. The question is whether the two candidates can influence Atlanta, or if Atlanta, which influences everything in American politics, is beyond their influence. Related: How the […]

How 2 quasars at the dawn of time could be a Rosetta stone for the early universe
A double quasar spiraling toward a great merger has been discovered lighting up the “cosmic dawn,” just 900 million years after the Big Bang. They are the first quasar pair spotted that far back in cosmic time. Quasars are rapidly growing supermassive black holes in the cores of hyperactive galaxies. Torrents of gas are thrust […]
The unexpected behavior of pulsing stars could help us measure the universe
New research offers the most precise measurements yet of pulsating Cepheid stars, which may hold clues about the immense size and scale of our universe. Cepheids are a type of variable star that brighten and dim within a short period of time, exhibiting specific luminosity patterns. However, while this rhythmic behavior allows astronomers to calculate […]
Where is the center of the universe?
The universe is undeniably vast, and from our perspective, it may seem like Earth is in the middle of everything. But is there a center of the cosmos, and if so, where is it? If the Big Bang started the universe, then where did it all come from, and where is it going? To start […]
How a jammed door is locking astronomers out of the X-ray universe
A gif showing a yellow-wrapped spacecraft with solar-panel wings in space. Just outside Hiroya Yamaguchi’s office is a blackboard crowded with exploded stars, spaceship schematics and spectral lines. The A4 printouts obscure almost all the free space, except for a tiny corner where he sometimes scribbles in white chalk. Right now, Yamaguchi, an associate professor […]
Youthful galaxy in the early universe was a heavy metal rebel
The most distant carbon ever seen has been discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) in a galaxy that we see as it existed just 350 million years after the Big Bang. The detection is notable because not only is it the oldest carbon known, it is the first time that an element heavier […]
Earth’s upper atmosphere could hold a missing piece of the universe, new study hints
Earth may be swimming through an ocean of dark matter — and waves in that invisible ocean lapping against our planet’s upper atmosphere may generate detectable radio waves that allow us to finally find this elusive component of the universe, according to new theoretical research. A wealth of astrophysical and cosmological evidence points to the […]
Muskogee STEAM Center borrows the universe from Tulsa Discovery Lab
Jun. 7—Youngsters can explore the universe at a temporary exhibit at Muskogee STEAM Center. And a new director can help guide them. The STEAM Center — a hands-on museum that introduces children to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math — is working with the Tulsa Discovery Lab to offer temporary exhibits. The first exhibit arrived […]
James Webb telescope discovers the 2 earliest galaxies in the known universe — and 1 is shockingly big
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has done it again. According to new research, astronomers using the powerful infrared telescope have revealed what appears to be the two earliest, most distant galaxies in the known universe, dating to just 300 million years after the Big Bang. The ancient galaxy duo break the records set by […]
