James Brady+FollowPlanet Formation Just Got WeirderThe James Webb Space Telescope just found a planet-forming disk around a distant star that's packed with carbon dioxide instead of water—totally flipping what we thought we knew about how Earth-like planets form. Scientists are scratching their heads because this challenges the classic 'water-rich' recipe for new worlds. Is it wild UV radiation or just weird dust? Either way, our ideas about planet birth might need a serious update! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceMystery80Share
James Brady+FollowBlack Hole Spotted From the Dawn of Time?!Astronomers just found a black hole that might have formed right after the big bang—no galaxy needed! The James Webb telescope spotted this “nearly naked” monster, which could be the first-ever evidence of a primordial black hole. If true, this discovery would totally shake up what we thought we knew about how the universe began. Imagine black holes popping up before galaxies even existed! Mind = blown. #Science #BlackHole #JamesWebb373Share
Tamara Jones+FollowFive Galaxies Collide—Universe Drama!The James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a wild cosmic pileup: at least five galaxies crashing together only 800 million years after the Big Bang! This kind of mega-merger is super rare—usually, it’s just two galaxies. Dubbed JWST’s Quintet, this group is bursting with new stars and could help explain how giant, ‘dead’ galaxies formed so fast. Imagine the universe’s most dramatic group chat, but with galaxies! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceNews577Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowWebb Telescope Just Changed EverythingNASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just spotted 300 super-bright, mysterious objects way out in the universe. Scientists think these could be some of the earliest galaxies ever formed—like, right after the Big Bang! If that’s true, it could totally flip what we thought we knew about how galaxies started. Basically, the universe just got a whole lot weirder (and cooler). #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery441Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowThis Comet Is Not From Around Here!Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is zooming through our solar system, and the James Webb Space Telescope just spotted something wild: it’s packed with way more carbon dioxide than any comet we’ve seen before. Scientists think this could mean it formed in a totally different kind of neighborhood, far beyond our solar system. It’s moving crazy fast and might even be older than our sun. Alien tech? Probably not, but it’s definitely a cosmic mystery worth watching! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceMystery253Share
megangibson+FollowThis Interstellar Comet Is Full of SurprisesThe James Webb Space Telescope just checked out comet 3I/ATLAS, and it’s blowing scientists’ minds. Not only is this icy visitor from another star system super old—like, 7 billion years old—but it’s got the highest carbon dioxide-to-water ratio ever seen in a comet. That could mean it formed in some wild, radiation-packed corner of the galaxy. Basically, this cosmic traveler is rewriting what we know about how comets (and maybe even planets) are born! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceScience369Share
Michael Flores+FollowSpace Siblings: Bennu & Ryugu’s Wild OriginPlot twist: NASA’s latest James Webb Telescope data suggests that Bennu and Ryugu—those famous asteroids we’ve been sampling—might actually be long-lost siblings from the same ancient mega-asteroid! Both rocks are shaped like spinning tops and could help us understand how asteroid families form. Scientists aren’t 100% sure yet, but the evidence is stacking up. Imagine: billions of years ago, one giant space rock shattered, and now its pieces are zooming around our solar system! #Science #JamesWebb #Asteroids20Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowUranus Just Got a New (Tiny) Moon!Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a brand new moon orbiting Uranus—and it’s only about 6 miles wide! This little guy, S/2025 U1, was totally missed by Voyager 2 back in the day. Now Uranus has 29 known moons, and scientists think there could be even more hiding out there. The JWST is seriously changing the game for space discoveries! #Science #Uranus #JamesWebb110Share
James Brady+FollowJWST Just Found the Oldest Black Hole EverThe James Webb Space Telescope just spotted the earliest confirmed black hole, chilling in a galaxy from over 13 billion years ago—just 500 million years after the Big Bang! This galaxy, called CAPERS-LRD-z9 (aka a "Little Red Dot"), is rewriting what we thought we knew about the early universe. Turns out, these ancient black holes might have grown way faster than scientists ever expected. Space nerds, this is as far back as we can see! #Science #JamesWebb #BlackHole202Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowSpace Grapes: Galaxy Looks Like a Fruit BowlAstronomers just spotted a galaxy from the early universe that looks like a bunch of grapes—seriously! Dubbed 'Cosmic Grapes,' this galaxy is packed with over 15 star-forming clumps, way more than anyone expected for something so ancient. Thanks to some cosmic magnifying and NASA’s James Webb telescope, we’re getting the juiciest look yet at how galaxies grew up. Turns out, the universe’s first galaxies might’ve been way more clumpy and wild than we thought! #Science #SpaceNews #JamesWebb40Share
