Scientists Confirm Rare Galaxies with Complex Organic Molecules Near Dawn of Time.

UCLA astrophysicists have discovered the faintest galaxy ever observed in the early universe, JD1, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. This galaxy is one of the most distant galaxies known and was discovered through gravitational lensing. The James Webb Space Telescope will continue to help us uncover clues about the cosmic dark ages and the Epoch of Reionization era. JD1 was likely formed very close to the beginning of our universe, and these major discoveries will likely change the way we think about different aspects of the known universe.
