"Webb Telescope reveals astonishing surge of oxygen in early universe"

TL;DR Summary
Astronomers using data from the James Webb Space Telescope have discovered that the abundance of oxygen in galaxies increased rapidly within 500-700 million years after the birth of the universe and has remained as abundant as observed in modern galaxies since then. This early appearance of oxygen suggests that the necessary elements for life were present earlier than expected.
