"Webb Space Telescope Discovers Ancient Galaxy, One of the Earliest Ever Seen"

The Webb Space Telescope has captured images of one of the earliest galaxies ever seen, dating back to about 390 million years after the Big Bang. Named Maisie's galaxy, it was spectroscopically confirmed by a team of astronomers studying the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS). The discovery challenges current galaxy formation models and suggests the need for a reevaluation. The Webb telescope, which has been producing scientific images for a year, may uncover even older galaxies in the future.
