NASA's James Webb Space Telescope discovers the four most distant galaxies ever observed, one of which formed just 320M years ago, new research says
Stephane Charlot, a researcher at the Astrophysics Institute of Paris and co-author of the two new studies, said all four galaxies are "very low in mass," weighing roughly a hundred million solar masses, Charlot said. But the galaxies are "very active in star formation in proportion to their mass," Charlot said.
However, in February, the discovery of six massive galaxies from 500-700 million years after the Big Bang led some astronomers to question the standard model. Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomer at Yale University not involved in the latest research, hailed the confirmation of the four newly-discovered distant galaxies as a "technical tour de force".
