Melvin Mosley+FollowEarth Telescope Nails the ImpossibleScientists just pulled off what everyone thought was impossible: they caught the faint glow from the universe’s first stars—right from Earth! Usually, our atmosphere blocks this ancient light, but a special telescope in Chile’s Atacama desert finally picked up the signal. This means we’re getting a clearer picture of the universe’s baby years, which could totally change what we know about dark matter and cosmic history. Space telescopes, you’ve got competition! #SpaceDiscovery #CosmicDawn #Astronomy #Science21759Share
Tamara Jones+FollowTiny Galaxies Lit Up the Early Universe!Turns out, it wasn’t massive galaxies or black holes that flipped the switch on the early Universe—it was a bunch of tiny, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies! Thanks to the James Webb and Hubble telescopes, scientists found these little guys pumped out way more light than expected, clearing the cosmic fog and letting the first light shine through. Basically, the Universe’s first glow-up was powered by the underdogs. Who knew? #SpaceNews #CosmicDawn #JamesWebb #Science100Share
