Galaxies Actively Forming in Early Universe Caught Feeding on Cold Gas
Researchers analyzing data from NASAs James Webb Space Telescope have pinpointed three galaxies that may be actively forming when the universe was only 400 to 600 million years old. Webbs data shows these galaxies are surrounded by gas that the researchers suspect to be almost purely hydrogen and helium, the earliest elements to exist in . https://science.nasa.gov/m...#nasa #space #news #nasa_technology_transfer #nasa_technology #nasa_ames_research_center #nasa_artemis #nasa_general #nasa_missions #nasa_nasa_directorates #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_galaxies #nasa_science_ &_research #nasa_the_universe #nasa_andre_douglas #nasa_candidate_astronauts #nasa_kathleen_rubins #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_commercial_crew #nasa_commercial_space #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_iss_research #nasa_exoplanet_atmosphere #nasa_exoplanet_science #nasa_exoplanet_transits #nasa_exoplanets #nasa_euclid #nasa_black_holes #nasa_dark_energy #nasa_stars

A Moonlit Moonwalk
NASA astronauts Kate Rubins, foreground, and Andre Douglas execute a nighttime simulated moonwalk in the San Francisco Volcanic Field in Northern Arizona on May 16, 2024, as part of the Joint Extravehicular Activity and Human Surface Mobility Test Team Field Test 5 JETT5. The test consisted of four simulated moonwalks that followed operations planned for 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/image...#nasa #space #news #nasa_andre_douglas #nasa_candidate_astronauts #nasa_kathleen_rubins #nasa_nasa_history #nasa_missions #nasa_commercial_crew #nasa_commercial_space #nasa_humans_in_space #nasa_iss_research #nasa_astrophysics #nasa_exoplanet_atmosphere #nasa_exoplanet_science #nasa_exoplanet_transits #nasa_exoplanets #nasa_euclid #nasa_black_holes #nasa_dark_energy #nasa_galaxies #nasa_stars #nasa_the_universe #nasa_goddard_technology #nasa_technology #nasa_earth #nasa_galaxy_clusters #nasa_science_ &_research
