Webb Telescope Reveals Secrets of Early Universe's Star Formation

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed secrets of the early universe and uncovered hundreds of gas bubbles where young, hot stars are forming and growing within the bars of a barred spiral galaxy. The JWST advanced deep extragalactic survey (JADES) utilized Webb’s deep-field surveying abilities to create a deep field that shows over 45,000 galaxies and uncovers some of the secrets of the early universe. JADES is one of the largest programs to have been awarded time during Webb’s first year of science, with 32 days of that first year being devoted to collecting data for JADES and creating incredible deep fields.
