NASA said that new research into galaxies captures by the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed what could be the most chemically primitive galaxy ever identified.
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.'has revealed what may be the most chemically primitive galaxy identified thus far.
The results were presented in a Jan. 3 paper in the open access express scientific journal The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The colors are unusual because a good chunk of their light comes from brightly glowing gas clouds, which emit light at specific wavelengths. A green pea galaxy imaged by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is shown alongside an infrared picture of an early pea captured by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. At left is J122051+491255, a green pea about 170 million light-years away that’s about 4,000 light-years across, a typical size. At right is an early pea known as 04590, whose light has taken 13.
