Astronomers using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have found what appears to be the most distant known galaxy, according to NASA.
This galaxy formed less than 300 million years after the Big Bang.
Over the last two years, scientists have used Webb to explore what astronomers refer to as the Cosmic Dawn—the period in the first few hundred million years after the Big Bang when the first galaxies were born.
These galaxies provide vital insights into the ways in which gas, stars and black holes were changing when the universe was very young, according to NASA.
