Jessica Hodge+FollowMonster Stars: The Universe’s OG GiantsAstronomers just found evidence of ‘dinosaur-like’ monster stars from the dawn of time! These cosmic beasts were up to 10,000 times the mass of our sun and lived fast, dying young—leaving behind black holes as their ‘fossils.’ The James Webb Space Telescope spotted their chemical fingerprints in a galaxy 12.7 billion light-years away. Basically, the universe had its own version of Jurassic Park, but with stars! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceNews00Share
Michelle York+FollowWebb Just Found the Universe’s Oldest SupernovaThe James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a supernova that exploded when the universe was only 730 million years old—talk about ancient history! What’s wild is that this cosmic blast, from nearly 13 billion light-years away, looks a lot like the supernovae we see nearby. Turns out, the universe was already recycling stars and making new ones way back then. Webb’s record-breaking find is literally changing how we think about the first galaxies and the birth of everything! #Science #JamesWebb #Supernova50Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowThis 'Hell Planet' Shouldn't Even ExistThe James Webb Space Telescope just found a planet that’s basically a cosmic rule-breaker. TOI-561 b is a broiling “hell planet” with a thick atmosphere—something scientists thought was impossible for a world this close to its star. It’s tidally locked, has a magma ocean, and is way cooler than expected (but still hot enough to melt metal). Astronomers are shook and rethinking what’s possible out there. Universe: 1, Scientists: 0. #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceMystery00Share
megangibson+FollowMonster Stars: Universe’s OG Black Hole Makers?The James Webb Space Telescope just spotted some absolute unit stars—up to 10,000 times the mass of our sun—hanging out in a galaxy from a billion years after the Big Bang. These ‘monster stars’ might be the missing link to how supermassive black holes got so huge so fast. Bonus: they left behind weird nitrogen signatures, basically cosmic breadcrumbs for scientists. Imagine stars so big they lived fast, died young, and helped shape the universe! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceMystery00Share
Michael Flores+FollowMonster Stars Found at the Dawn of Time!Astronomers just found proof that gigantic 'monster stars' really existed right after the Big Bang! Using the James Webb Space Telescope, they spotted a galaxy with chemical fingerprints only these mega-stars could leave behind. These cosmic beasts were 1,000-10,000 times the mass of our Sun, lived fast, died young, and became the seeds for today’s supermassive black holes. The universe’s wildest origin story just got real! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery40Share
Michelle York+FollowNASA Might’ve Just Found Alien Clues!NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just picked up hints of methane on a planet called TRAPPIST-1e, which orbits a star 39 light-years away. Methane can be a sign of life, so everyone’s freaking out (in a good way). But scientists aren’t sure if the methane is from the planet or its star yet. If TRAPPIST-1e has an atmosphere, it could be habitable. Are we finally not alone? Stay tuned! #Science #NASA #JamesWebb261Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowWebb Just Spotted the Universe’s Oldest StarJames Webb Space Telescope just dropped a cosmic bombshell: it snapped the most detailed pic ever of Earendel, the most distant star we’ve ever seen. Not only did we get a peek at its wild blue glow, but scientists think it might have a companion star, too. Thanks to some crazy gravitational lensing, we’re literally looking back in time—like, almost 13 billion years ago. This could be our ticket to spotting the universe’s very first stars! #Science #JamesWebb #Earendel51Share
Michelle York+FollowJWST Just Spotted the Universe’s OG StarsThe James Webb Space Telescope might have finally found the universe’s very first stars—like, the literal OGs born right after the Big Bang! These ancient “Population III” stars are hiding out in a galaxy called LAP1-B, and their light has been traveling for 13 billion years to reach us. Thanks to some cosmic magnifying glass action (gravitational lensing), JWST got a peek at these super-old, super-massive stars. This could totally change what we know about how galaxies and stars first formed! #Science #JamesWebb #SpaceDiscovery10Share
