"15th, 2022 coming up on K CBS. I'm Chris Ann Carlo, there's a fight in California over who controls the sun, and it could play out on your utility bill. Oh, and the places we will go with the James Webb telescope. Case CBS News time two 31 CBS is next. CBS News brief, rare December tornadoes have killed at least three people in the south, ripped trees from their roots and torn down power lines. This man lives in New Orleans. You heard the train whistles all the normal tornado sounds and then you kind of felt the compression in the house where it tried to pick it up and then we just heard a lot of explosions and things in the area. It's now an ice in the forecast for east coast states. No more room at shelters with streams of migrants crossing the southern border. CBS lilia Luciano from El Paso. The situation is only expected to get worse a week from today when title 42, a pandemic era law that the U.S. uses to turn migrants away is set to expire. Police say Paul Pelosi's attacker had other targets on his list, including Hunter Biden and Tom Hanks. San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins. This sends a strong message this case in general in just the facts of what happened. Send a clear message to the country that things have gone too far and that we must tone down our rhetoric CBS News brief. I'm Deborah Rodriguez. Kay CBS News time two 32, good morning, I'm ELISA clancy. The James Webb telescope floating a million miles above earth has captured stunning images of four of the oldest galaxies ever seen, bringing astronomers one step closer to discovering the actual birth date of the very first galaxies. For more, case CBS path Thurston and Brett burkhart spoke with Brandt Robertson, Professor of astronomy and astrophysics University of California Santa Cruz. I really have, first of all, an extremely basic question. This web telescope is absolutely remarkable. What is it that makes it so? It's not just that it's up there a million miles away from us, I don't think. It's the way it's able to go so far out and capture these images without having to worry about having light. I think there's something that has to do with infrared. That's absolutely right. So the James Webb Space Telescope is a very large telescope. It's much larger than the Hubble Space Telescope, its predecessor. And James Webb Space Telescope is coded in gold, which makes it very reflective in the infrared and has very special cameras installed on it that are also sensitive in the infrared and this allows us to take very deep sensitive images in the infrared that allows us to find very distant galaxies. That's amazing. And the images are just breathtaking, but are they touched up, I always wonder about that. Are those as is? Yeah, 'cause they have color. Is there color out there? Well, I made some of those images myself and actually what we do is we take infrared colors, so these are not the colors you would see with your eyes, but are actual colors in the infrared and we just assign red blue and green to different wavelengths of light in the infrared. And no, I didn't touch up any of the images that you've been seeing. Well, they're very pretty. So let's talk about these galaxies, this new discovery now, which was anticipated and there's much more to come that's also anticipated. How old are these most recently discovered galaxies? And are they anything like ours? These galaxies are very old, so they're found in the first 400 million years of cosmic time. The most distant galaxy was found about 325 million years after the Big Bang. The universe right now is about 13.8 billion years old. So you can see these are extremely old galaxies. They're not really anything like the Milky Way they're much smaller than the Milky Way is. Both in terms of how massive they are, how many stars they have, but also in terms of their size, their minuscule compared to the Milky Way. So they're really interesting objects for us to study. So the images that we're seeing from the telescope is from images 400 million years ago. So it could look completely different in the present. Is that correct? That's right. So actually, they're from 13.4 billion years ago. They were around only in the first 400 million years of cosmic time. So a very long time ago. And they've probably evolved into something much different than what we see them as using JWST. So they're probably a lot larger. Maybe a little bit more exciting of the galaxy at a later time. But that's part of our imagination trying to figure out what's happening with these really distant objects and what they may be like today. Yeah, it's mind boggling to think that we're actually looking back in time because it takes that long for those images to be able to reach us or vice versa. So the discovery of these new galaxies. Does this say anything about the potential of them harboring any life forms? Well, you know, just like every galaxy, there are lots of stars in these galaxies. And we think that most stars have a planet around them, not every star has a planet like our earth. But you never know. So these galaxies may be some of the first galaxies that are forming stars. They may also be some of the first galaxies that are forming planets. And some of those planets may have some different life forms on them in the very early universe. We don't know.

"20 and with more on our Wednesday afternoon news watch. Here's pat. The James Webb telescope. This thing excites me so much. I can't even say it's floating a million miles above earth, it's captured stunning images of four of the oldest galaxies ever seen, bringing astronomers one step closer to discovering the actual birth date of the very first galaxies. Well, for more, we're joined on the kcbs RingCentral newsline by Brant Robertson Professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California Santa Cruz.

Brent Robertson, Professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the University of California Santa Cruz, as we talk about web. We are on the money watch on kcb. Fed chair Jerome Powell says the Central Bank still has a ways to go to ring inflation out of the economy, and that means interest rates will be higher than investors expect next year. As expected, the fed did downshift its rate raising campaign today, increasing rates by half a percent, he told a news conference that what comes next depends on the economic data. Powell's comments were not what Wall Street wanted to hear, dashing hopes that the fed would reverse course, sometime in 2023. Wall Street reversed modest gains sending stocks to a lower close, down industrials dropped 142, the S&P lost 24, the NASDAQ slumped 86.
