New Space Telescope Reveals Earliest Galaxies Yet
Astronomers captured light from galaxies that formed just after the dawn of the universe.
A next-generation space telescope has imaged some of the earliest galaxies ever observed, offering a glimpse into the universe's infancy.
The findings challenge existing models by showing that large structures assembled faster than expected.
Researchers say the data will refine theories of galaxy formation and dark matter.
More observations are planned to map the cosmic dawn in unprecedented detail.
