JWST Detects Evidence of “Monster Stars” That May Have Created the Universe’s First Giant Black Holes

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of researchers has discovered chemical fingerprints from enormous primordial stars that were among the first to form after the Big Bang. For more than twenty years, astronomers have struggled to explain a major puzzle about the early universe...Read More

The universe is humming with ripples in spacetime: Scientists just doubled our catalog of black hole and neutron star collisions

Scientists have discovered over 100 more gravitational wave events. (Image credit: Robert Lea (created with Canva)) Our catalog of spacetime ripples "heard" by gravitational wave detectors here on Earth has doubled, scientists say, with newly discovered sources ranging from wobbly black hole mergers to the heaviest black hole collision detected…
