The James Webb Space Telescope has made a significant discovery by capturing images of galaxies that emerged just 400 to 600 million years after the Big Bang, early in cosmic history. Thanks to its powerful infrared capabilities, the telescope was able to penetrate deep into time and space, allowing us to see the first galaxies forming.

The telescope’s revealing images show three galaxies that formed between 13.2 and 13.4 billion years ago during the birth of the cosmos. These unique images represent the first glimpses of young clusters that have not previously been accessible to astronomical observation, generating significant interest in the scientific community.
