"James Webb Telescope Discovers Earliest 'Dead' Galaxy in Distant Universe"

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered the oldest "dead" galaxy in the universe, which ceased star formation almost as quickly as it began over 13 billion years ago. The galaxy, JADES-GS-z7-01-QU, provides new insights into the early universe and the factors affecting star formation, challenging existing models. This discovery suggests that galaxies in the early universe may have experienced rapid transitions from star-forming to dormant phases, and further observations could shed light on the reasons behind this phenomenon.
