What is known
Scientists using the new space observatoryworth $10 billion were able to see what was happening in the universe 830 million after the Big Bang. The telescope saw the birth of the cosmic web, which is a structure based on dark matter.
Science says the cosmic webformed by quasars and supermassive black holes. The space telescope observed quasar J0305-3150. It turned out that 10 galaxies are associated with it, connected by a thread 3 million light years long. To give you a better sense of scale, the Milky Way is nearly 106,000 light-years wide and Andromeda is 220,000 light-years wide.

Over time, the discovered spacethe web will become stronger and turn into a giant cluster of galaxies. Studying in the early stages of the life cycle will allow you to learn more about such processes by observing their evolution.
James Webb discovered the cosmic web withinproject A SPectroscopic survey of biased halos In the Reionization Era (ASPIRE). The program aims to study the first black holes and covers the observation of 25 quasars that existed during the first billion years after the creation of the universe.
It is expected that after the completion of the ASPIRE projectScientists will learn how supermassive black holes appeared less than 1 billion years after the Big Bang. According to modern scientific theories, there was simply no material in the Universe for their formation at that stage in the development of the Universe.
