WE TRACED A POWERFUL RADIO SIGNAL TO THE MOST DISTANT SOURCE YET – A GALAXY
BILLIONS OF LIGHTYEARS AWAY

Every day and night, hundreds of thousands of intense, brief flashes of
radiation suddenly flicker on and then off all across the sky. These “fast radio
bursts” are invisible to the naked eye, but to a radio telescope many almost
outshine everything else in the sky for a few thousandths of a second.

10 TIMES THIS YEAR THE WEBB TELESCOPE BLEW US AWAY WITH NEW IMAGES OF OUR
STUNNING UNIVERSE

It is no exaggeration to say the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) represents a
new era for modern astronomy. Launched on December 25 last year and fully
operational since July, the telescope offers glimpses of the universe that were
inaccessible to us before.
