Webb Telescope's Discoveries Challenge Our Understanding of the Early Universe

The James Webb Space Telescope has detected a highly compact galaxy that formed 13.3 billion years ago, just 510 million years after the Big Bang. The galaxy has a diameter of approximately 100 light-years and forms new stars at a rate similar to that of the Milky Way. The discovery is reshaping our understanding of the early universe and challenging our assumptions about galaxy properties. The observation was aided by gravitational lensing, and the combined power of the James Webb Space Telescope and the galaxy's magnification allowed for detailed study.
