  Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 24, 2025 A new astronomical survey led by the University of Kansas using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has delivered fresh insight into galaxy evolution during the universe's peak star-forming era known as "cosmic noon," which occurred roughly 2 to 3 billion years after the Big Bang. The MIRI EGS Galaxy and AGN (MEGA) survey reveals that half of all the stars in today's galaxies were born during this dynamic period. The research highlights the twin engines of galactic evolution at play-bursts of st ... read more |
