One of the telescopes most famous in the world for its incredible results is once again a trend thanks to the discoveries it offers the scientific community. In this case, ‘James Webb’ captured the image of a galaxy 12,000 million light years away with molecules which could have been the drivers of life on Earth.

This molecule can be found in tobacco smoke or when burning coal or firewood, and despite being highly harmful to humans, it is one of the most widely found particles in the universe. In comets, meteorites or nebulae, and their presence is not as harmful as it is on Earth.
The scientists responsible for the telescope indicated that this galaxy, being 12,000 million light years away, may have an age of 1,500 million years after the Big Bang. Being relatively young if we talk about the constellations.
This galaxy was discovered in 2013 thanks to researchers from the South Pole, but it was not until this year that they were able to provide the proper follow-up in order to know what its real composition is and how this image can be used for studies of the beginning of life. not only on Earth, but also in the universe.
These discoveries put the scientific community on “alert” since it is not known for sure what are the origins of the universe since the explosion of the Big Bang is due.
The behavior of galaxies and black holes are one of the issues that the scientific community addresses in order to reach the conclusion that most people seek.
The search for new planets and which ones can harbor life is currently unknown because of how the human being could reach these planets as soon as possible in the event that something happens to Earth.
