"James Webb Space Telescope Unveils Cosmic Distances of 200 Galaxies"

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has provided astronomers with the ability to determine the distances of nearly 200 galaxies and galaxy clusters, offering valuable insights into the evolution of galaxies and the clusters they inhabit. The telescope's powerful instruments, including the Canadian NIRISS, have allowed researchers to measure galactic distances by analyzing light signatures and redshift. The study has revealed new galaxies and overdensities within galaxy clusters, shedding light on the formation of star clusters after the Big Bang. This research marks an important milestone in understanding the changes that have occurred in the universe since its early days.
