TL;DR Summary

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have observed a distant galaxy, AzTECC71, shrouded in dust, making it invisible to optical instruments like the Hubble Space Telescope.

The discovery suggests that there may be a whole population of similar dusty galaxies that have been previously hidden from observation.
