"James Webb Space Telescope uncovers ancient ghost galaxy hidden in dust"

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured an image of galaxy AzTECC71, a highly dust-obscured resident of the early universe, providing insights into the evolution of the universe since the Big Bang. The image reveals that the early universe may have been much dustier than previously thought, suggesting the existence of a population of galaxies that have been hidden from observation. The JWST's powerful infrared capabilities allow it to penetrate dust-thick clouds and detect galaxies that were previously invisible to telescopes like Hubble. This research sheds light on the biased understanding of galaxy evolution due to the limited visibility of less dusty galaxies.
