Universe Simulations Show Webb Telescope Can Reveal Distant Galaxies Hidden in Quasars’ Glare – SciTechDaily
Webb observations will seek dusty galaxies from the first billion years of the universe. The brightest objects in the distant, young universe are quasars. These…
This artist’s illustration portrays two galaxies that existed in the first billion years of the universe. The larger galaxy at left hosts a brilliant quasar at its center, whose glow is powered by hot matter surrounding a supermassive black hole. Scientists calculate that the resolution and infrared sensitivity of NASA’s upcoming James Webb Space Telescope will allow it to detect a dusty host galaxy like this despite the quasar’s searchlight beam.
