JWST Uncovers Unprecedentedly Distant Galaxies

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered two of the most distant galaxies ever observed, located 33 billion light-years away behind the gravitational lens of Pandora's Cluster. These galaxies are larger than any previously detected at such distances and have unique shapes, resembling a "peanut" and a "fluffy ball." The light from these ancient galaxies, three times older than Earth, provides insights into the physics of the early universe near the cosmic dawn.
