Telescópio James Webb revela o mapa mais nítido da teia cósmica

Astrônomos utilizando o Telescópio Espacial James Webb, da NASA, produziram o mapa mais detalhado já feito da teia cósmica do universo, a vasta rede de matéria escura e gás que conecta as galáxias. O mapa traça estruturas de quando o universo tinha aproximadamente um bilhão de anos.

Pesquisadores da Universidade da Califórnia em Riverside lideraram uma equipe internacional que analisou mais de 164.000 galáxias como parte do levantamento COSMOS-Web. As descobertas, publicadas no The Astrophysical Journal, mostram filamentos e vazios com detalhes muito superiores aos das imagens anteriores do Telescópio Espacial Hubble da mesma região.

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.
