A Sharper Image of the Early Universe



Medford MA (SPX) Sep 03, 2025
What was the universe like in the first few hundreds of millions of years after it came into existence? How did the first stars and galaxies form? Those are questions that astronomers now have a better chance of answering, thanks to a new research program using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), which came online in 2022. The MINERVA program, co-led by a Tufts astronomer, will give researchers an even better view than before of the early universe by using instruments on the Webb telescope that ... read more
