Named "Webb's First Deep Field," the spectacular and mind-bending photo shows our universe only a few hundred million years after the Big Bang, just as galaxies began to form and light started flickering from the very first stars. This starlight took roughly 13.5 billion years — or most of the age of the universe — to travel to us, arriving at the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) after the space-time warping gravitational pull of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 steered even the fainter and more distant light into focus.

So far, metal detectorists have discovered 11 coins on a remote stretch of cultivated field located in Norfolk, a rural county near England's eastern coast, and experts remain hopeful that more could be unearthed in the future.

But now, a researcher declares that she has cracked the case. Palmyra existed for millennia and the city flourished around 2,000 years ago as a center of trade that connected the Roman Empire with trade routes in Asia, such as the Silk Road. The anonymous deity is mentioned in numerous Aramaic inscriptions at Palmyra and is referred to as "he whose name is blessed forever," "lord of the universe" and "merciful," according to Science in Poland, a news site run by the Polish government and independent journalists. Many of these inscriptions date back around 2,000 years.

However, upon his research being published, the scientist received swift criticism from experts who flagged his study as deeply flawed. "I am surprised that this study was published at all in its current form," Martyn Chipperfield, a professor of atmospheric chemistry at the University of Leeds in England, told the Science Media Centre, an independent U.K.-based press office that works with researchers, journalists and policymakers to disseminate accurate scientific information.
