Black Hole Universe - Researchers analyzing James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) data from the early universe found that most galaxies appear to rotate in the same direction, challenging current cosmological models. Examining 263 galaxies in the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), Kansas State University’s Lior Shamir discovered that about two-thirds spin clockwise, while one-third spin counterclockwise, instead of the expected 50/50 split in a random universe. Of course, we know the u

Meanwhile, 1.5 million km from Earth: Things are starting to come into focus for the JWST. The new space telescope's primary mirror has eighteen segments that all need to work together as one giant mirror so we can have the epic space images we crave. So far, the telescope has completed three out of seven phases of its mirror alignment. The progress really shows in this before-and-after shot from JWST's NIRCam. Each fuzzy blob in the starting image is the same star reflecting off a different mir
