NASA built the cutting-edge James Webb Space Telescope to stare into the distant Universe and back to the beginning of time — and it’s already doing it spectacularly. In the weeks after Webb’s initial science images and data were made available to astronomers, they have reported a flood of early discoveries, including multiple contenders for the most distant galaxy ever seen.
The presence of distant galaxies in Webb photos suggests that we should reconsider star and galaxy evolution in the early universe. So, keep your eyes glued to your screens because things are about to become interesting.
