On December 21, 2021, NASA launched a record-breaking $10 billion space telescope. With this, we were able to capture and analyze ancient galaxies. So far, with just JWST, we discovered 717 ancient galaxies.

Not only did JWST discover galaxies, but also exoplanets — planets that could support life.
Another shocking discovery is Saturn’s Moon, Titan, has clouds in its atmosphere. There might be life there!!!
Recently, JWST found a supermassive ANCIENT blackhole that is over 13 billion years old!! It is within galaxy CEERS 1019 and as a mass of 9 million times more than the sun. This black hole was born just after 570 million years after the Big Bang. These numbers are huge so to put it in perspective, our Milky Way’s black hole 4.6 million times the mass of the Sun. In other words, CEERS’s blackhole is twice the size of the Milky Way’s. In the future, I hope the telescope runs into an UFO and declare the existence of aliens! Get ready to explore the next galaxy of my blog with me!
