James Word’s telescope discovered a very complex organic molecule that formed in the early universe.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, the chemical substance discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope dates back to the time when the universe was 10% of its current age. A new study shows that astronomers have succeeded in discovering a complex organic molecule in the universe that was found in very old samples. In this study, the chemicals found are very similar to the substances found in smog and smog on Earth. They are located in the early galaxy, when the universe was very young.
Justin Spilker, the author of the study on one of the astronomers of the University of Texas, says that the discovered molecules are not like simple molecules, and there are hundreds of atoms in them. The presence of these complex organic molecules is very common in space. These molecules are in the form of particles attached to fine dust grains. Astronomers spend most of their time studying them. Because they can provide useful information about the activity of galaxies. Spilker, in collaboration with other researchers and using data from the James Webb Space Telescope, has been able to discover these complex molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth. According to him, the creation of such large and complex molecules by the universe before the Big Bang is remarkable.
The discovery of new molecules was done with the help of gravitational lensing and a part of the fabric of space-time. This discovery is related to one of Albert Einstein’s theories that mass can distort space and time. For example, if a bowling ball moves on a plastic plate, it can bend it. This plastic screen is the space and time. If the mass of the object increases, the space-time curves will also increase around that object.
