Canada Global(Web News) This telescope of the American space agency NASA has discovered the oldest and most distant galaxy in the universe. According to an estimate, the galaxy named JADES-GS-z14-0 was formed 29 million years after the Big Bang. The James Webb Space Telescope also discovered some unique features of this galaxy that formed at the beginning of the universe. This galaxy is very large and spans 1,600 light-years, while also being extremely bright.
The light emitted by this galaxy was observed by James Webb’s mid-infrared instrument, indicating the emission of ionized gas. Scientists believe that this gas may be a combination of hydrogen and oxygen, and this discovery is surprising. Because it is believed that oxygen did not exist at the beginning of the universe. In this regard, the scientists involved in the research said that all the results indicate that this galaxy is not like other galaxies. They said that it is possible that in the future With the help of this telescope, experts will discover more bright galaxies that are even older.
Earlier, James Webb Space also discovered the oldest black hole in the universe. In November 2023, a statement released by NASA stated that the black hole came into existence 470 million years after the Big Bang. was A never-before-observed black hole from the beginning of the universe, which may be 13.2 billion years old, was discovered in a galaxy called UHZ1. This black hole is 10 to 100 million times more massive than our Sun. Could be big. Scientists said that it is not the biggest black hole in the universe, but it is unusual for a black hole to be so big in the early period.
