Over the next few hundred million years, as stars began to shine, their light ionised the hydrogen and helium, enabling photons to flow freely and making the universe transparent, though the exact timing of this is uncertain.

Potentially habitable planet TRAPPIST-1b may have a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere

Potentially habitable planet TRAPPIST-1b may have a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere

That haze, the researchers say, causes the planet's upper atmosphere to be hotter than the layers below, creating an environment where carbon dioxide emits light rather than absorbing it, which could explain the lack of an expected dip in previous observations.


Early galaxies weren’t mystifyingly massive after all, James Webb Space Telescope finds

Early galaxies weren’t mystifyingly massive after all, James Webb Space Telescope finds

The universe has expanded greatly since it was born about 13.8 billion years ago in the Big Bang, and that means the light from early galaxies appears reddened by the time it reaches Earth, much as how an ambulance siren sounds lower-pitched to people as the vehicle drives away.
