The James Webb Space Telescope has allowed scientists to find complex organic matter in the early Universe. Researchers
What is known
The discovery helped to make not only spacetelescope, but also a massive cluster of galaxies 3 billion light-years from our planet. It created a gravitational lens that warped the space-time around it and allowed background objects to be seen magnified.
To be more precise, James Webb saw a singlegalaxy SPT0418-47. The space telescope found 47 complex organic molecules in it. On Earth, they are often found in oil. The main feature of the discovery is that organic matter was formed only 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, i.e. when the universe was only 10% of its development.

Scientists do not intend to stop there.They will continue to use the James Webb Space Telescope to search for complex organics in other galaxies in the early universe. The only problem is the degradation of the spectrometer. From 2025, such research will become impossible unless scientists come up with a way to increase throughput.
