TL;DR Summary

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered two of the oldest and most distant galaxies in the universe, dating back to just 330 million years after the Big Bang. These galaxies, estimated to be the second and fourth most distant ever detected, were found behind the Pandora's Cluster through gravitational lensing. The light from these ancient galaxies traveled for over 13 billion years to reach the telescope, providing insights into the physics of the early universe. The newfound galaxies appear larger than other galaxies observed at the same cosmic point, raising questions about their formation and evolution.
