THE TRUTH ABOUT: The big bang - Caught on Camera

The first rocky planets may have formed just 100 million years after the Big Bang, scientists say — and they could have been surprisingly Earth-like

New simulations indicate rocky planets may have formed just 100 million years after the Big Bang. Massive stars exploded, scattering heavy elements needed for planet formation. These enriched pockets of debris could have quickly formed planetesimals. Water may have also arrived early, providing key habitability ingredients. This suggests early cosmic…

Black hole star? Solar-system-size 'dot' from the early universe is our best evidence yet of a brand-new type of cosmic object

The James Webb Space Telescope has identified the most promising candidate yet for a black hole star, lurking 660 million years after the Big Bang. The hypothetical entity, which shines 100 billion times brighter than a typical star, could shed light on the origins of the mysterious "little red dots."

Cristiano Ronaldo's famous CR7 nickname inspired the name of a galaxy. Here's its origin and how it got its name

Cosmic Redshift 7, a galaxy discovered in 2015, holds significance for early universe study. Its name honors footballer Cristiano Ronaldo's famous nickname, a deliberate astronomical coincidence. This distant galaxy, observed over 800 million years after the Big Bang, is unusually bright. Researchers initially hoped it contained the universe's first stars,…
