Breaking the cosmic dawn: Astronomers validate the discovery of faintest galaxy in history
The James Webb Space Telescope, a cutting-edge telescope, is expected to help astronomers to scrutinize the earliest stars and galaxies in the Cosmos, concealed in a veil of hydrogen atoms. By leveraging the telescope's remarkable observation and gravitational lensing, astronomers authenticated the existence of a faint yet pivotal galaxy named JD1. The galaxy offers a glimpse into the Cosmos's past; it exists only 480 million years after its inception, which is 4% of its current age. JD1's capabilities allow researchers to observe intricate details of the galaxy's structure and resolution, from which researchers study early galaxies and trace their cosmic origins.
