The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has found new evidence that the early universe was a much more complex place than we thought. This time it has detected the signature of carbon atoms present in a galaxy that formed just 350 million years after the Big Bang – one of the earliest galaxies ever observed. … Read more
This is an artist’s impression of a young star surrounded by a disk of gas and dust. An international team of astronomers used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study the disk around a young, very low-mass star known as ISO-ChaI 147. The results reveal the richest hydrocarbon chemistry yet observed in a protoplanetary disk. … Read more
People walk through cooling misters in Las Vegas on June 4, 2024. Tens of millions of people from California to Texas experience intense heat. New data shows that the amount of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has reached a new record.

An international team of astronomers has used NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope to study the disk of gas and dust surrounding a young, very low-mass star. The results reveal the largest number of carbon-containing molecules yet seen in such a disk. These findings have implications for the potential composition of any planets that could form … Read more

One of the most important drivers of the exceptional heat Building in Earth’s atmosphere has reached levels beyond anything humans have ever experienced, officials announced Thursday. Carbon dioxidethe gas that responsible for most of the global warming caused by human activities is accumulating “faster than ever,” scientists from NOAA, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and … Read more
Astronomers have discovered carbon in a galaxy seen just 350 million years after the Big Bang, in observations that raise the possibility that conditions for life were present almost from the beginning of time. The observations, made by the James Webb Space Telescope, suggest that huge amounts of carbon were released when the first generation … Read more
