In the early days of the universe there should have only been tiny, baby galaxies. Whoops! Turns out the James Webb Telescope is throwing a monkeywrench into the works and Joel Leja explains why everyone’s scratching their heads. As for these “universe breakers”, some astrophysicists are venturing they’re not galaxies but black holes. Speaking of which, The White Specks in This Image Aren’t Stars Or Galaxies. They’re Black Holes. No seriously, take a look. Michelle Star double-dog dares you to apprehend this cosmic horror. Francesco de Gasperin tells Michelle about how his team was able to image the objects, but how the new data could upend cosmology even further. While those are in other galaxies, just 100,000 light years away A Mysterious Object Is Being Dragged Into The Supermassive Black Hole At The Milky Way’s Center. The object is called “X7”, a very 1950’s radio drama designation, and humans can watch its cold, bitter, lonely death sometime in 2036. Holly Ober has the rest of the gory details to keep you up at night. (CS)
