The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted complex organic molecules, which usually form in smoke, in the very distant universe. With help from a galactic gravitational anomaly, the telescope ...

Complex organic molecules have been detected in a galaxy located more than 12 billion light-years away using the James Webb Space Telescope.

The molecules — which are found on Earth in smoke, soot and smog — are in a galaxy that formed when the universe was less than 1.5 billion years old, about 10 per cent of its current age.The discovery ...

A vast filament of gas stretching across the cosmos may help solve the mystery of the Universe’s missing matter. Astronomers ...

Astronomers have discovered smoke molecules in a distant galaxy, ... The study also notes that SPT0418-47 was already the size of our Milky Way galaxy when the universe was just 10pc of its ...

NASA’s SPHEREx mission, which launched in March 2025, is poised to transform our understanding of the universe. By creating ...

Astronomers have detected oxygen in the most distant galaxy ever found. It’s 13.4 billion light-years away from Earth, according to new research.

Astronomers have used the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to peer into the early universe and uncover the ...

Once the growing galaxy is large enough, it will start to gravitationally arrange itself into the spiral structures we see around us in the local Universe, including our own Milky Way.

Astronomers have used the NASA/ESA James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to observe the 'inside-out' growth of a galaxy in the early universe, only 700 million years after the Big Bang.

The light from the dusty galaxy began traveling across the cosmos when the universe was less than 1.5 billion years old, just 10% of its current age of 13.8 billion years.
