What’s it telling us about our past — and the future of cosmology?
Pictured here is Cassiopeia A, a star that exploded more than 10,000 years ago. Webb’s image showed us previously unseen gas and dust in its center.
When stars explode or die, new elements are forged, including the calcium that makes up our bones and the oxygen that we breathe. That’s what Carl Sagan meant when he said, “We’re made of star stuff.”
Webb can also see further back in time — a mind-bending thought.
The light from this galaxy traveled through space for 40 million years before reaching Webb’s mirrors, which means we’re seeing it as it looked 40 million years ago.
Webb is showing us the earliest moment in our universe’s history, fossilized in light.
Webb helps us know but also to “unknow”: It gives us stunning new discoveries while simultaneously challenging us to rethink and rebuild our understanding of the past.
