TL;DR Summary

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a stunning image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, a faraway region in the southern constellation Fornax containing at least 10,000 galaxies dating back to just 800 million years after the Big Bang. The image, taken in infrared wavelengths, is helping astronomers piece together the universe's history in the first billion years after the Big Bang, known as the reionization era. Webb observed the same region at similar depths that Hubble did, but in just one-tenth as much observing time, and is unveiling young galaxies that were not seen previously.
