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
