Scientists discover ‘faint galaxies’ using James Webb Space Telescope | Top Vip News

Scientists make constant efforts to discover the secrets of the history of the universe. The universe reportedly hasn’t been this bright since its beginnings and experienced the “Dark Ages,” when thick gases clouded the rays of light emanating from the stars. So today let’s take a look at how our space transformed from a dark space to a bright array of millions of galaxies. Researchers used the Webb telescope to find the answer.

A photo of the “faint galaxies” went viral a few weeks ago. The photograph was captured by the James Webb Space Telescope showing the smaller galaxies that began to emit light. The post was shared on X on the ESA page. “The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope just observed some of the faintest galaxies in the universe! “These dwarf galaxies existed in the earliest era of the universe, a time of darkness without stars or galaxies, filled with a dense fog of hydrogen gas, just a few billion years after the Big Bang,” the tweet reads.

To understand the phenomenon in depth, the researchers pointed the telescope toward a region of the cosmos called the Pandora Cluster. It is said to be a group of galaxies that are so massive that they warp space. This produces a curved cosmic lens that magnifies objects outside of it. According to the American space agency NASA, “light follows that curve instead of traveling in a straight line, distorting and illuminating what is behind the object.”

However, using that natural cosmic lens and the power of the telescope, scientists were able to discover some of the faintest and oldest galaxies in space. Reports suggest that scientists observed small galaxies in a form that would have taken shape billions of years ago, due to the time it takes for light to reach us. Small galaxies generate massive amounts of ultraviolet light that are enough to break up the huge clouds of gas that have saturated space.

In the later stages of our universe, starlight was no longer clouded by cosmic gases and began to shine as the star became clearer and brighter. Furthermore, in this published study, scientists discovered that low-mass galaxies often produced energetic radiation, and their combined effect was so large that it could change the entire state of the universe. In this way, the universe continued to emerge from darkness and become illuminated.
