"Gas-rich Baby Galaxies Illuminate the Early Universe: New Webb Images"

New images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed that almost 90% of galaxies in the early universe, around 12 billion years ago, were abundant with glowing gas that outshone emerging stars. The unprecedented clarity of the JWST images allowed astronomers to identify neighboring galaxies that were previously unseen by the Hubble Space Telescope. The research suggests that the interaction between these galaxies triggered intense episodes of star formation, resulting in the extreme emission line features observed. This discovery provides valuable insights into the early universe and the origin of elements.
