"James Webb Telescope Uncovers Massive 'Cosmic Vine' Hosting 20 Galaxies in Early Universe"

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a massive chain of at least 20 closely packed galaxies from the early universe, nicknamed the "Cosmic Vine." This structure, estimated to be over 13 million light-years long and 650,000 light-years wide, could provide insights into the formation of the most massive structures in the cosmos. The Cosmic Vine appears to be on its way to becoming a galaxy cluster, but its two largest galaxies have stopped forming stars. Further study is needed to understand the mysteries behind this ancient galactic chain.
