Unveiling Ancient Mysteries: JWST's Revelations on Early Galaxies

The James Webb Space Telescope has shed light on the mysterious Lyman-alpha emissions in the early Universe, revealing that galactic mergers and abundant star formation were responsible for creating these emissions and providing a path for them to escape the dense, opaque neutral hydrogen that dominated the young Universe. This discovery opens a new window into the early Universe and may lead to further insights through more detailed observations of galaxies at different stages of merging.
