    Episode 11: The JWST Revolution, Part 3: Is the Universe Broken?

    Our exploration continues into the world of CEERS, one of the major flagship surveys of the early JWST data. Now, astronomers are confronted by yet more first generation galaxies that seem to defy scientific consensus -- a group of objects so luminous that their formation should not have been possible based on standard theories of galaxy formation. So, is the Universe truly broken? Or is it simply playing a cruel trick on our ability to locate how far these galaxies actually are....?

    Episode 10: The JWST Revolution, Part 2: Remarkably Bright Galaxies at Cosmic Dawn

    It’s July 2022, and JWST is now in full swing – its early images already captivating people the world over. In all this excitement, however, a team of astronomers is struck by one thing in particular... two beacons of light, shining out from the very depths of time: extraordinarily bright galaxies in existence so early as to defy all expectations. But how could galaxies so big exist so soon after the birth of the cosmos? Have we misunderstood galaxy formation all along?

    Episode 9: The JWST Revolution, Part 1: A New Space Telescope

    Christmas Day, 2021 offered a once-in-a-lifetime present to the astronomical community: JWST, a revolutionary new space telescope with the potential to transform our understanding of the cosmos. But with every new innovation, there is always room for plenty of surprises….  In our new miniseries on the Open Universe Podcast, we delve into the world of JWST and the incredible observations it’s made in just the first year of its operations – some, perhaps, with the potential to break our understanding of the universe.

    Episode 6: The most epic journey in the lifetime of a photon

    Photons traveling through spacetime are cosmic messengers carrying with them rich stories of the past history of our cosmos. Find out how an otherwise innocuous observation of distant quasars in 1965 transformed our understanding of the composition of intergalactic space, and the phases of evolution our Universe underwent billions of years ago.

    Episode 5: What is that beeping in the night sky?

    For years, astronomers have been puzzled by the mysterious bursts of cosmic radio emission, until recently, two teams identified the origin of these events as extremely magnetic stars -- strong enough to disrupt credit cards on the moon!
