Telescópio espacial James Webb deteta galáxia mais distante do Universo

O telescópio espacial James Webb, o maior e mais potente, detetou a mais distante das galáxias alguma vez observadas, que se formou nos primórdios do Universo, quando este tinha 320 milhões de anos, revelam estudos hoje publicados.


Para quem quiser entender como funciona o mecanismo da propagação da luz no universo e qual é o limite daquilo que podemos alguma vez chegar a ver (observable universe). E complexo tenham a mente aberta!

A tiny rock fragment has hit the new James Webb Space Telescope's main mirror.

The damage inflicted by the dust-sized micrometeoroid is producing a noticeable effect in the observatory's data but is not expected to limit the mission's overall performance.

Para refletir, ou queimar neurónios

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has produced the deepest and sharpest infrared image of the distant universe to date. Known as Webb’s First Deep Field, this image of galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 is overflowing with detail.
Thousands of galaxies – including the faintest objects ever observed in the infrared – have appeared in Webb’s view for the first time. This slice of the vast universe covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground.
