"James Webb Space Telescope captures stunning image of resurrected ghost galaxy"

TL;DR Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured an image of a faint, dusty star-forming galaxy known as AzTECC71, which was previously undetectable by ground-based and Hubble Space Telescope observations. The discovery suggests that these types of galaxies, shrouded in dust, may be more common in the early universe than previously thought. The COSMOS-Web collaboration, led by researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, aims to map up to 1 million galaxies using JWST to study the earliest structures of the universe. The team is working to uncover more of these "JWST-faint" galaxies and explore their optical and infrared properties.
