Astronomers armed with early data obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are hunting galaxies that existed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang.

Rohan Naidu, an astrophysicist based at Harvard’s and Smithsonian’s jointly operated ,  and his colleagues have been particularly good at uncovering these cosmic relics.

Just a few days after the JWST’s first images were beamed across the planet in July, .Using data from the ‘scope, the researchers announced that they’d discovered a candidate for the most distant galaxy ever seen, dubbed GLASS-z13. Then, not even a week later, a .

It’s not surprising, then, that we have yet another candidate.

In a pre-print paper, released on Aug. 5 and World News yet to undergo peer review, Naidu and colleagues have detailed another distant galaxy candidate, from one of JWST’s early release science programs, known as CEERS-1749.When you loved this article and you wish to receive more information about World News generously visit our own site.
