TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured an image of a previously elusive dusty star-forming galaxy, AzTECC71, which had disappeared from Hubble Space Telescope images. This discovery suggests that such galaxies 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 JWST's sensitivity to infrared light allows it to penetrate the dust veils surrounding these galaxies, providing new insights into their properties and evolution.
