"James Webb Telescope Discovers Most Distant and Earliest Known Galaxy"

TL;DR Summary
An international team of astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered two of the earliest and most distant galaxies, dating back to just 300 million years after the Big Bang. These galaxies, located near the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, were observed through JWST's advanced infrared capabilities, revealing significant star formation and chemical elements. The findings, part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), suggest that even more ancient galaxies could soon be discovered. The research papers are currently awaiting peer review.
