When it comes to space exploration, it is possible to attract the attention of people of all ages. However, scientists continue to work on space exploration. Finally, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope continues to provide new images and details. One of these is the discovery of the most distant galaxies ever discovered.
Galaxies are located 3.5 billion light years away!
The James Webb Space Telescope has come to the fore with many successes so far. On the other hand, the images captured by the space telescope also attracted a lot of attention. The telescope recently observed the most distant galaxies ever observed.
NASA’s James Webb Telescope has managed to observe the second and fourth most distant galaxies ever observed with its sensitive lenses. Astronomers at Penn State used the telescope’s capabilities to look for objects beyond the Pandora star cluster, 3.5 billion light-years away.
At the end of the study, the second and fourth galaxies named “UNCOVER-z12” and “UNCOVER-z13” were imaged. Researcher Bingjie Wang, who continues his studies, made a statement on this subject. “We know very little about the early universe. “The only way to learn about that period and test our theories about early galaxy formation and development is to use these very distant galaxies.”
When we look at the appearance of galaxies, it is possible to note that they are different from other galaxies. The reason for this is that they occur in different ways. Other galaxies seen at similarly high redshifts appear as dots only a few hundred light-years across.
Galaxies formed only 300 to 400 million years after the big bang. They also emitted their light in wavelengths invisible to humans, but detected by James Webb’s “Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam)” and “Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIRSPec)”.
