Faintest Galaxy in Early Universe Confirmed by Astrophysicists.

UCLA astrophysicists have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope to confirm the existence of the faintest galaxy ever seen in the early universe, called JD1. The galaxy is one of the most distant identified to date and is typical of the kinds of galaxies that burned through the fog of hydrogen atoms left over from the Big Bang, letting light shine through the universe and shaping it into what exists today. JD1 is located behind a large cluster of nearby galaxies, called Abell 2744, whose combined gravitational strength bends and amplifies the light from JD1, making it appear larger and 13 times brighter than it otherwise would.
