I'm an award-winning journalist writing about the night sky and eclipses.
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has broken its own record by discovering a galaxy just 290 million light-years from the “ big bang ” that is thought to have created the universe. The previous record holder was 650 million years into the universe’s existence.
When any telescope looks at the night sky, it looks into the past and sees objects as they were. When you look at the moon, you see how it was 13 seconds ago. For the sun, it’s eight minutes. Astronomers are on an eternal quest to capture light from as close to the beginning of the universe as possible to figure out how the first stars and galaxies formed from nothing.
