"James Webb Space Telescope Reveals Ancient Cosmic Web and Galaxies"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered an early strand of the cosmic web, a long filament of 10 galaxies existing just 830 million years after the big bang. This structure, anchored by a luminous quasar with a supermassive black hole at its core, is expected to evolve into a massive cluster of galaxies. The study also provides insights into the properties of eight quasars in the young universe, revealing the range in mass of their central black holes and the potential impact of these black holes on star formation.
