Webb Space Telescope rewrites the rules of galactic evolution

by
SciTechDaily

Discoveries with the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that early galaxies formed complex structures such as bars much earlier, indicating accelerated evolution. Credit: SciTechDaily Advanced observations from the JWST indicate that early galaxies matured more quickly and were less chaotic, challenging previous theories of galaxy evolution. New research has found that the universe’s early galaxies … Read more

The 180-million-year-old secret of evolution: Scientists discover potential origin of the first ‘warm-blooded’ dinosaurs

by
SciTechDaily

Recent research indicates that some dinosaurs may have evolved the ability to regulate their body temperature internally during the Early Jurassic period, allowing them to adapt to colder climates and survive environmental challenges. The artist’s impression shows a dromaeosaur, a type of feathered theropod, in the snow. This group of dinosaurs is popularly known as … Read more
