Unveiling the Early Universe
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope. They identified dormant galaxies, affectionately dubbed ‘Sleeping Beauty’ galaxies, existing in the early universe. These galaxies emerged during the first billion years after the Big Bang, challenging previous assumptions about galaxy formation.
Researchers found a diverse range of galaxy masses within this epoch. This discovery is crucial for understanding the growth and evolution of galaxies. It sheds light on how these early cosmic structures developed and thrived in a time when the universe was still young. The findings open new avenues for exploring the mysteries of cosmic history.
