The James Webb Space Telescope has provided a window into eons past, capturing a new image that shows the oldest galaxy ever observed. Find out more at
The scientists do still want to conduct more research to verify their findings. , one of the scientists, Rohan Naidu, said"we found two very compelling candidates for extremely distant galaxies. If these galaxies are at the distance we think they are, the universe is only a few hundred million years old at that point."
Still, the new discovery is all the more tantalizing given the fact that James Webb is only at the beginning of its science operations. Hubble's record-breaking discovery came from a space telescope reaching its limit and relatively near the end of its lifespan. James Webb, on the other hand, has only just gotten started. The space observatory is expected to last at least five and a half year, and it could operate for a decade.
