"James Webb" takes pictures of the farthest thing the human eye has seen in the universe
NASA's James Webb Telescope has captured images of three spiral galaxies that formed about 10 billion years ago.
And the British newspaper “Daily Mail” stated, on Tuesday night, that these galaxies are the most distant galaxies that the human eye has seen so far.
Astronomers said that these galaxies were formed in the early universe, specifically in what is known as the "cosmic noon".
The James Webb Telescope was also able to monitor detailed images of celestial bodies belonging to the early universe period.
Between 8 and 10 billion years ago, these galaxies were about half the size of their current stellar mass, making this group the most distant human eye has ever seen.
In the past, previous telescopes such as " Hubble " were able to take pictures of these galaxies, but "James Webb" pictures are more detailed, and this helps scientists understand the details of these celestial bodies and their features, and decipher the mystery of spiral galaxies .
And one of the galaxies observed by "James Webb" is a negative galaxy, meaning that it will not give birth to new stars.
And the new discovery could lead to a bigger discovery, which is that the spiral galaxy, which was thought to be rare now, is abundant in the universe .
Red spiral galaxies are rare , as they constitute about 2 percent of galaxies in the universe, and their color means that they formed at the beginning of the universe.
For this reason, astronomers seek to understand this formation and hope to learn more secrets about the early universe.
NASA seeks through the powerful tools of the "James Webb" telescope to rewrite the history of star formation in these galaxies, which are believed to have formed billions of years ago, not far from the Big Bang .
