A Galaxy That Slept for Half a Billion Years

The 'Sleepy' galaxy in the early universe furiously gave birth to stars, but after 300 million years it fell asleep. A record-breaking hydrogen dip in its glow showed that not all bright early galaxies become giants—some doze off and turn into dwarfs.

Сверхновая из детства Вселенной

Самую далёкую сверхновую SN Eos подтвердили, разложив её свет в спектр. Взрыв произошёл в среде, почти лишённой тяжёлых элементов, — прямое доказательство рождения массивных звёзд в ранней Вселенной. Открытие стало возможным только благодаря гравитационному линзированию и поможет уточнить темп рожде

Red Eyes: Cosmic Lens Reveals a Pair of Black Holes

Using a gravitational lens — a massive cluster of galaxies bending light — the James Webb Space Telescope detected two red dots in a distant galaxy. These are intermediate-mass black holes, located not in the center but on the outskirts. The discovery suggests such invisible objects might be widespr

Cold Water Trail in the Red Dots of Space

The James Webb Telescope discovered that the mysterious red dots are not hot disks around black holes, but dense clouds of water vapor with temperatures around 2000–4000 °C. This reduced the mass estimates of black holes by an order of magnitude.

Cosmic Cocoons: MEOW's Infrared Hunt Reveals the Secret Growth of Black Holes

In a new study presented in the MEOW survey, astronomers used the MIRI infrared camera on the James Webb Space Telescope to search for dust-obscured active galactic nuclei from an era when the Universe was less than a billion years old. Analyzing the emission from hot dust allowed them to identify 1
