Fox News
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have observed the most distant known galaxy, which they claim is very luminous and nearly 300 million years old.
The galaxies, NASA said, give scientists insight into how gas, stars and black holes changed when the universe was in its infancy. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
A team of international astronomers used the Webb telescope in October 2023 and January 2024 to observe galaxies as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JAMES) program. Story tips and can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
