Introduction: In the vast expanse of our universe, mysteries abound, and the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is proving to be a powerful tool for unraveling them. Nearly a century after Edwin Hubble’s groundbreaking discovery of the expanding cosmos, the JWST, now celebrating its second anniversary, has brought forth startling observations that challenge the very foundations of our understanding of cosmology. This article delves into the cosmic puzzle, examining the discrepancies in the Hubble constant and the implications for our current cosmological models. The Standard Model Unravelled: The journey into the cosmos begins with the widely accepted Big Bang theory.…
Introduction In the 1930s, physicist Karl Jansky astounded the scientific community when he pointed his radio antenna toward the center of our galaxy and detected a continuous source of radio waves. This discovery, which initially baffled researchers, eventually revealed itself emanating from Sgr A (Sagittarius A), a supermassive black hole over a million times more massive than our sun. Sagittarius A stands as a gravitational behemoth at the heart of the Milky Way, prompting scientists to ponder a profound question — can stars form near Black Holes? The Conundrum of Stellar Nurseries In the early stages of exploration, astronomers posited…
