"James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Distant Galaxies Defying Astronomical Theories"

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the second- and fourth-most distant galaxies ever observed, located in Pandora's Cluster. These galaxies challenge current theories of galaxy formation due to their unique size and appearance. The galaxies, which are nearly 33 billion light years away, offer insights into the early universe and provide valuable information about the formation and growth of galaxies during that time.

"James Webb Telescope Challenges Astronomical Theories with Unprecedented Discoveries"

New images from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed the presence of pairs of planet-like objects, called JuMBOs, in the Orion Nebula that defy current astronomical theories. These JuMBOs have masses between 0.6 and 13 times that of Jupiter and are typically 200 astronomical units apart. The objects are young, about 1 million years old, and their temperatures range from 1,000 to 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. Scientists are puzzled by their formation and presence in the nebula, suggesting that there may be something fundamentally wrong with our understanding of planet and star formation. Further observations and modeling are needed to explain this unexpected discovery.
