"Dwarf Galaxies' Impact on Early Universe Unveiled by Webb Telescope"

TL;DR Summary
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have observed the faintest galaxies during the first billion years of the universe and found that small dwarf galaxies likely played a crucial role in reionizing the universe. These galaxies were found to be immense producers of ionizing radiation, challenging previous assumptions and highlighting the importance of understanding low-mass galaxies in shaping the universe's history. The findings, published in the journal Nature, provide new insights into the early universe's evolution and will guide future observations to further understand the emergence of the first galaxies.
