James Webb Telescope Reveals Ancient Galactic 'City' in Spiderweb Cluster

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered new galaxies within the Spiderweb protocluster, challenging previous theories about gravitational interactions in dense regions. The telescope's infrared capabilities allowed for the observation of previously obscured galaxies, providing new insights into galaxy formation and evolution in the early universe. The findings suggest that star formation in these galaxies is fueled by gas accumulation rather than interactions or mergers. Future research will focus on further studying these galaxies with spectroscopic observations.
