JWST's Latest Discoveries Are Blowing Our Minds

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been making amazing discoveries since its launch in December 2021. Here are just a few of the mind-blowing things that JWST has found so far:

• The oldest galaxy ever seen: JWST has seen the light from a galaxy that formed just 300 million years after the Big Bang. This is the earliest galaxy ever seen, and it is helping scientists to understand how galaxies formed and evolved in the early universe.

• A giant planet outside our solar system: JWST has found a giant planet outside our solar system that is twice the size of Jupiter. This planet is located just 40 light-years away from Earth, and it is the first planet of its kind to be found in this part of the galaxy. [Image of JWST's giant planet outside our solar system]

• A dying star: JWST has captured images of a star that is dying. The star is shedding its outer layers of gas and dust, and it is creating a beautiful nebula around it. This nebula is called the Southern Ring Nebula, and it is one of the most beautiful objects in the sky. [Image of JWST's dying star]

• A supermassive black hole: JWST has detected the most distant active supermassive black hole ever seen. The black hole is located in a galaxy that formed just 570 million years after the Big Bang. This discovery is helping scientists to understand how black holes formed and evolved in the early universe.
