Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey: Wide view of the early universe
Recent pictures taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveal what might be one of the oldest galaxies ever seen. One of the photographs has a significantly larger field of view than Webb's First Deep Field image, which was published on July 12. The images show objects from more than 13 billion years ago. The photographs are among the first to come from a significant partnership between astronomers and other academic researchers working with NASA and international partners to learn new things about the cosmos. Images from the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS), which was directed by a researcher at The University of Texas at Austin, were used to create the artwork. The School of Physics and Astronomy at Rochester Institute of Technology's Jeyhan Kartaltepe is one of 18 co-investigators from 12 different universities, in addition to more than 100 additional collaborators from the United States and nine other nations. When the universe was less than 5% ...
