Astronomers Discover Universe's Faintest Galaxy

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope and gravitational lensing to confirm the existence of the faintest galaxy known in the early Universe. The galaxy, called JD1, was observed when the Universe was only 480 million years old. The discovery of faint galaxies is crucial for understanding the epoch of reionization and the formation of the early Universe. The James Webb Space Telescope's advanced technology allows astronomers to study these faint galaxies in unprecedented detail, providing insights into their structure and interactions with nearby galaxies.
