Galaxy. were really looking all the way back to when large structures like these first formed in our universe. but when you look at those images that you just showed, those are actually in our galaxy and nearby. because webb views in the infrared, they can actually see through a lot of the dust, a lot of the gas, and see what lies within, see forming stars, see forming planetary systems. so this is really a new eye on the universe not just in its ability to look deep into the universe, but also ...

Simulations suggest that Earth could theoretically host two more moons the size of the one we've got now, or several smaller moons

Oldest ever captured. the image was shown to the president of the united states. were looking back more than 13 billion years. light travels at 186,000 miles per second. and that light that you are seeing on one of those little specks has been travelling for over 13 billion years. and, by the way, were going back further — because this is just the first image. the telescope blasted off last year on christmas day — a collaboration between the american, european and canadian space agencies —...
