Another JWST Discovery At The Edge of Time

Webb has made a bone-chilling discovery at the edge of time. The infrared telescope has found signs of supermassive stars that could be up to 100,000 times more massive than the Sun. To put that into perspective, the most massive star we have ever found in the universe is 250 times the Sun’s mass. The colossal stars discovered by Webb belong to the first generation of stars that existed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang. These stars lived very short lives, consuming their nuclear fuel in just a few million years. When they died, they exploded in supernovae, scattering their heavy elements throughout the universe. These heavy elements eventually formed the planets, stars, and galaxies that we see today. The discovery of supermassive stars at the edge of time is a major breakthrough in our understanding of the early universe.

"Just a FEW hundred million years"

I am so happy to be around for JWST's journey, it feels like every day it finds countless new wild things

[robynmorris]

Our seemingly infinite Universe's layers slowly getting peeled back by JWST...so incredible!!!

[ikanberapi]

The JWST Telescope is indeed *Bing Chilling*

[rebeccakennedy]

It's amazingly beautiful in the sense that there are no words to describe the vastness of it all in our universe.
I don't believe that there is any kind of end to our universe.
Just like eternity lasts forever, too, as well. 😇

Well that just makes more sense. I feel like I understand the universe a little better, thanks JWST

The more they think they know, the more often they get smacked back to reality and find out quickly that they know nothing.

I witnessed a supernova during the night when I was a kid, and the star I was looking at was producing a lot of explosive starloosh in all directions around it

[khalidbinasim]

Thanks for this knowledge and information

[gasmanoav]

What this telescope is seeing is like the first time a child leaves the house. There is so much more to discover.

[Rucksoxy]

I think the black hole star theory is a good explanation to this

[Allworldsk]

The universe has been around for for longer than what the mainstream astrophysicist wants you to believe. The universe has been here trillions of years. Going through the similar processes that you see today. Remember you cannot create or destroy anything you can only change its form. The universe is eternal

[petergreen]

This is probably a very significant discovery

[vga-tm]

seems our kaleidoscopic views of the universe gets richer by the day

[robcat]

My bones are not chilled by this discovery.

[somafire]

Wait….. are they so short lived but yet also provided the building block that we’re built of. It’s worded strangely. He make it sound like we are seeing their light but yet they would have blown up to make elements for us to be built on. It’s as though he is saying that we are looking at the same thing we are made of from the past. It doesn’t sound physically possible.

[jamesedo]

My brain is still trying to process this

The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff. We are a way for the universe to know itself.

What linked vedeo??? I never see any links! 😤

[scoochysteve]

Knowing that the centre of every galaxy is a supermassive black hole, I concluded some time ago that the first stars were supermassive, they died and collapsed into these black holes that held their 'blown off material' in an orbit which then formed the galaxies...
