With the help of the James Webb Space Telescope, a stunning image that depicts the oldest galaxy ever seen has been captured, opening a peek into ages past. Only days after starting its science activities, the infrared space observatory discovered a 13.5 billion-year-old galaxy using its extraordinarily sensitive NIRCam sensor, according to two recent preprint articles. In essence, Webb is allowing us to look into a galaxy that is foreign to us both because of how far away it is from Earth and because it was created only 300 million years after the Big Bang. One of the key objectives of the Webb mission is to see the very first galaxies and provide fresh insight into the universe's creation. The oldest and furthest galaxy ever seen is GLASS-z13. Last Monday, NASA unveiled the ...

China plans to send its first significant space observatory to the China Space Station, where it will begin conducting scientific research by 2024. According to a report from China's official media outlet, CGTN, the telescope, also known as the Xuntian, Chinese Survey Space Telescope, or Chinese Space Station Telescope (CSST), would conduct extensive space surveys of the sky. first significant orbital observatory in China The Xuntian will be close enough to Earth for maintenance, unlike NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, which recently unveiled its first scientific photographs. Lagrange Point 2, where James Webb is located, is about 1.5 million kilometers (one million miles) from Earth. CSST, on the other hand, will orbit close to China's space station, making it very simple to main...
