Like its famous predecessor, Hubble, it\u2019s a collaboration between NASA and the European and Canadian space agencies. But NASA is the senior partner, so it got to name the telescope after one of its previous administrators, James E. Webb. For various reasons, however, Webb has never been a popular \ufb01 gure outside NASA, so the telescope is usually referred to by the abbreviation JWST. Aside from this naming controversy \u2013 and perhaps the alarmingly high price tag of over $10 billion \u2013 the new telescope has been a resounding success.<\/p>\n

JWST is more than just a larger and more powerful replacement for Hubble. The latter sees the universe in much the same part of the spectrum as our own eyes do, between red and violet. But JWST is focused on signi\ufb01 cantly longer wavelengths in the infrared region. This is a clever choice, because many of the objects that are of greatest interest to astronomers \u2013 such as exoplanets, star- forming regions and very distant galaxies \u2013 are much easier to see at infrared wavelengths than in visible light.<\/p>\n

As a consequence, JWST has already made an enormous range of discoveries, relating to such diverse areas of astronomy as the planets of the Solar System and beyond, the birth and evolution of stars, supernova explosions, supermassive black holes, the formation of galaxies and the very early universe. Here we take a look at just a few of the highlights. Most galaxies have a supermassive black hole in their central nucleus, believed to have initially formed from the collapse of a very large star and then to have grown steadily by swallowing other stars and gas from the surrounding environment.<\/p>\n

But the so-called In\ufb01 nity Galaxy, recently observed by JWST, seems to be di\ufb00 erent. For one, it has not one but two nuclei, probably because it represents the aftermath of a collision between two originally separate galaxies. Even odder, its supermassive black hole isn\u2019t in either of these nuclei, but in a dense agglomeration of gas about halfway between them.<\/p>\n

This has led astronomers to conclude that it\u2019s a previously theorised yet never-before-observed phenomenon called a \u2018direct collapse black hole\u2019. In other words, this black hole wasn\u2019t the result of stellar collapse at all, but instead formed directly at the centre of a dense gas cloud. JWST has found a \u2018runaway\u2019 black hole whizzing through its host galaxy at millions of miles per hour A NIRCam image of the In\ufb01 nity Galaxy, named for its resemblance to an in\ufb01 nity symbol JWST\u2019s instruments consist of a suite of four scienti\ufb01 c apparatus investigating the universe This huge segmented mirror captures infrared light from distant objects before passing it on to the scienti\ufb01 c instruments.<\/p>\n

resh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and a low-fat cup of dairy: it used to be that, within living memory, we could enjoy a healthy meal and know exactly what went into it. But these days there are added and often unwanted ingredients even in a simple green salad. In this issue of How It Works, we\u2019re diving into your dinner plate to discover what\u2019s in your food that you won\u2019t necessarily \ufb01 nd on the ingredients list on the packet \u2013 we\u2019re talking microplastics, pesticides and even traces of insects.<\/p>\n

We take a look at just how fresh your fruit juice really is, hidden sugar and salt and the byproducts of cooking. But it\u2019s not all nasty E numbers, we\u2019re not trying to put you o\ufb00 your food, honest! Enjoy the issue.
