"Dwarf Galaxies: The Key to Illuminating the Early Universe"

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of Pandora's Cluster, revealing how the universe transitioned from its Dark Ages to a clear, observable state. By observing faint, ancient galaxies through a natural gravitational lens, astronomers discovered that these galaxies were emitting significant amounts of ultraviolet light, enough to break down the dense gases suffocating space and reveal brilliant starlight. This breakthrough sheds light on the era of "reionization" and showcases the Webb telescope's unparalleled ability to peer into the early cosmos and study distant exoplanets.
