Since its deployment into orbit, the James Webb Telescope has proven to be a game changer. Every day, NASA reveals astounding new findings from the telescope, as if the vast cosmos is simply waiting to be explored and new things are ready to be discovered. It's as though we're on the edge of discovering something monumental that will change our reality, from casting doubt on the Great Big Bang Theory to showing breathtaking images of vast galaxies. The James Webb Telescope is altering our view of the universe.
The universe's vastness is just overwhelming beyond human understanding, did you know that in 2016, it was estimated that there are around 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe, and what do these galaxies contain inside themselves? What secrets are lurking within the universe's vast abyss? Perhaps we shall never know how vast space is. However, technological advancements such as the James Webb Space Telescope have greatly expanded our Horizons. Thanks to the mind-boggling Revelations of these iconic observatories, we have discovered that huge Mysteries exist inside the grandeur of the cosmos.
It's no surprise that space is so vast that it's strewn with endless mysteries and strange things, and scientists have lately discovered a significant discovery. Join us as we explain how NASA recently revealed an image of a mystery object that appears to have arrived from another solar system, comparable to something you've never seen before.
NASA has disclosed never-before-seen pictures of 2I/Borisov, the second known object to have travelled outside of our solar system. A distant spiral galaxy can be seen off to the side of the comet in the image, but it is the image's vivid blue center, which was recorded by the Hubble Space Telescope as it followed the comet through space, that attracts attention to it. The image displays the comet as it passes through our solar system on its route back to Interstellar space.
On August 30th, 2019, amateur astronomer Gennady Borisov noticed a moving object while looking up through his homemade telescope. This moving point of light, now known as 2i/Borisov, turned out to be the first confirmed Comet and the second foreign object to visit our solar system from a region outside the influence of our sun. Astronomers from all over the world hurried to examine the object with some of the most powerful existing technologies in order to understand as much as they could about the mysterious visitor.
