Webb telescope detects non-rotating galaxy from early universe

Suomi

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified a massive galaxy that shows no rotation, formed less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang. The finding challenges existing models of galaxy evolution.

The galaxy, known as XMM-VID1-2075, contains several times as many stars as the Milky Way and has already ceased forming new ones. Lead researcher Ben Forrest from the University of California, Davis, described the absence of rotation as surprising and unexpected for such an early object.

James Webb telescope reveals clearest map of cosmic web

Astronomers using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have produced the most detailed map yet of the universe’s cosmic web, the vast network of dark matter and gas that links galaxies. The map traces structures back to when the universe was roughly one billion years old.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has imaged the largest known protoplanetary disk, revealing a turbulent and asymmetric structure around a young star. The disk, nicknamed Dracula's Chivito, stretches nearly 400 billion miles across and lies about 1,000 light-years from Earth.

Intermediate-mass black hole may explain galactic center stars

A hidden intermediate-mass black hole could account for the three distinct populations of stars orbiting Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the Milky Way’s center. Researchers built a model showing how one tilted companion object can shape all three groups through gravitational effects. The work was detailed in a recent arXiv paper.
