Image of galaxy GHZ2/GLASS-z12 with associated ALMA spectrum. ALMA’s deep spectroscopic observations revealed a spectral emission line associated with ionized oxygen near the galaxy, which has been shifted in its observed frequency by the expansion of the universe since the line’s emission.

The Milky Way in the night sky above the HERA cluster. The telescope is only able to observe between April and September, when the Milky Way is below the horizon, because the galaxy produces a lot of radio noise that interferes with detection of faint radiation from the reionization era. The Matrix is located in … Read more
You’re looking at NGC 346, a star cluster 210 light-years away that’s vigorously pumping out brand-new stars from a dense cloud of gas and dust. Between 10 and 11 billion years ago, nearly all galaxies in the universe underwent an intense star formation era similar to what we see in NGC 346. This wave of … Read more
from the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe, University of Tokyo Figure 1. Two exceptionally bright galaxies captured in the GLASS-JWST programme. These galaxies existed about 450 and 350 million years after the Big Bang (with redshifts of about 10.5 and 12.5, respectively), and their sizes are approximately 500 parsecs and … Read more

Researchers have discovered the first ultra-faint dwarf galaxies found around a Milky Way-mass spiral galaxy outside the group of galaxies that includes the Milky Way and Andromeda. Pictured here is one of the three galaxies, Scl-MM-dw5, with its stars clustered in the center. Galaxies are estimated to be 12 billion years old, and almost all … Read more
Credit: Unsplash / CC0 Public Domain New data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveals that the structures of galaxies in the early universe were more diverse and mature than previously known. Scientists recently compared images of hundreds of galaxies taken by JWST’s Cosmic Evolution Early Science Survey (CEERS) with corresponding images taken previously … Read more
