James Webb Space Telescope captures the birth of miniature galaxies

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured images of a "baby galaxy" formed through the merging of two smaller galaxies in the early stages of the universe. The images, produced by the gravitational lensing effect of the galaxy cluster MACS 0417, reveal evidence of intense growth spurts of star formation within the merging galaxies. The discovery provides insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies.
