NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope observed an unusually large and highly luminous galaxy at a record-breaking 290 million years after the big bang

Summ:

  • The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the most distant galaxy ever confirmed, named JADES-GS-z14-0, which appears as it existed just 290 million years after the Big Bang.

  • The discovery of this surprisingly luminous and massive early galaxy challenges theories about how galaxies formed in the cosmic dawn

  • JWST has been repeatedly breaking its own records for the most distant galaxies since beginning operations in 2022

    Not even that. With about two mass shootings per day on average, most mass shootings don’t make the news.

      wait is this statistically correct?

        A “mass shooting” has four or more people being hit, which happens about 800 times a year in the US. And about once a year in other western countries, if at all.
