"James Webb Telescope Uncovers Ancient Dust-Covered Galaxy and Mysterious Ghostly Object"

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have observed a distant galaxy, AzTECC71, shrouded in dust, making it invisible to optical instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope. This galaxy, which formed just 900 million years after the Big Bang, is a star factory, producing hundreds of new stars each year. The discovery suggests that there may be a whole population of similar dusty galaxies that have been previously hidden from observation.

"James Webb Space Telescope captures stunning image of resurrected ghost galaxy"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured an image of a faint, dusty star-forming galaxy known as AzTECC71, which was previously undetectable by ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope observations. The discovery suggests that these types of galaxies, shrouded in dust, may be more common in the early universe than previously thought. The COSMOS-Web collaboration, led by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, aims to map up to 1 million galaxies using JWST to study the earliest structures of the universe. The team is working to uncover more of these "JWST-faint" galaxies and explore their optical and infrared properties.

"James Webb Space Telescope captures stunning image of resurrected ghost galaxy"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured an image of a previously elusive dusty star-forming galaxy, AzTECC71, which had disappeared from Hubble Space Telescope images. This discovery suggests that such galaxies may be more common in the early universe than previously thought. The COSMOS-Web collaboration, led by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, aims to map up to 1 million galaxies using JWST to study the earliest structures of the universe. The JWST's sensitivity to infrared light allows it to penetrate the dust veils surrounding these galaxies, providing new insights into their properties and evolution.
