"NASA Spots Oldest 'Dead' Galaxy, Prompting Revisions to Early Universe Understanding"

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the oldest-known dead galaxy, which ceased star formation nearly 13 billion years ago, shedding light on the early stages of the universe. The find, detailed in a study published in Nature, offers insights into the regulation and cessation of star formation in galaxies, with implications for understanding the evolution of the cosmos. This discovery expands our understanding of the universe's expansion and the potential for dormant galaxies to reinitiate star-forming processes.
