An international team of scientists have discovered an enormous structure which is home to at least 20 massive galaxies. The structure, dubbed ‘Cosmic Vine’, is said to be about 13 million light-years long and 0.

A new research has revealed that our home galaxy, the Milky Way, might be forming stars at a much higher rate than previous estimates. The study conducted by the scientists at the University of Würzburg in Germany has surprised the scientific community.

The James Webb Space Telescope, launched in 2021, has detected evidence of six massive ancient galaxies, which astronomers are calling 'universe breakers,' which can possibly change the existing theories of cosmology.

'Universe breakers': James Webb telescope spots evidence of six ancient galaxies

James Webb's telescope was launched last December as a successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, with higher resolution and better sensitivity that allow it to view objects too old, distant, or even faint.

A new study has claimed that there could be fewer galaxies than previously thought. Earlier, Hubble Space Telescope suggested the existence of more than 2 trillion galaxies in the universe, but the latest research highlights to only hundreds of billions of them.
