Using the James Webb Space Telescope, a team of researchers observed the birth of three baby galaxies that were forming just a mere 400 to 600 million years after the Big Bang, making them some of the youngest galaxies ever witnessed.
"You could say that these are the first 'direct' images of galaxy formation that we’ve ever seen," said University of Copenhagen astrophysics assistant professor and the study's lead author Kasper Elm Heintz "For now, this is about mapping our new observations of galaxies being formed in even greater detail than before," said University of Copenhagen doctoral student and study c0author Simone Vejlgaard in the statement. "At the same time, we are constantly trying to push the limit of how far out into the universe we can see. So, perhaps we’ll reach even further."
