Teleskop James Webb mengungkap peta jaring kosmik paling jelas

Para astronom yang menggunakan Teleskop Luar Angkasa James Webb milik NASA telah menghasilkan peta jaring kosmik alam semesta yang paling mendetail hingga saat ini, sebuah jaringan luas materi gelap dan gas yang menghubungkan galaksi-galaksi. Peta tersebut melacak struktur hingga masa ketika alam semesta berusia sekitar satu miliar tahun.

Para peneliti di University of California, Riverside memimpin tim internasional yang menganalisis lebih dari 164.000 galaksi sebagai bagian dari survei COSMOS-Web. Temuan yang dipublikasikan dalam The Astrophysical Journal tersebut memperlihatkan filamen dan ruang hampa dengan detail yang jauh lebih besar dibandingkan gambar-gambar wilayah yang sama dari Teleskop Luar Angkasa Hubble sebelumnya.

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified the farthest jellyfish galaxy observed to date, located at a redshift of z=1.156. This galaxy, viewed as it appeared 8.5 billion years ago, features trailing streams of gas and young stars shaped by ram-pressure stripping in a dense cluster. The finding suggests that early universe galaxy clusters were more turbulent than previously thought.

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.

Astronomers have produced a detailed map of the Milky Way's magnetic field, revealing a surprising diagonal reversal in the Sagittarius Arm. The findings, based on new radio telescope data, help explain how this invisible force structures the galaxy. Led by scientists at the University of Calgary, the studies were published this month in The Astrophysical Journal.

Astronomers have detected the brightest and most distant maser, a laser-like beam of microwaves, produced by colliding galaxies nearly 8 billion light years away. The discovery was made using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. This phenomenon, amplified by gravitational lensing, may represent a new category of extremely powerful masers.
