International scientists are shedding light on two of the farthest galaxies seen to date. The early galaxies were captured in James Webb Space Telescope pictures.
Theoretical physicist Dr. Michio Kaku explains the significance of new images provided by NASA's Webb Space Telescope on 'Sunday Night in America.'call a"whole new chapter in astronomy," the observatory has helped to locate two early galaxies, one of which may contain the most distant starlight ever seen.
Naidu led one paper and Marco Castellano, of the National Institute for Astrophysics in Rome, Italy, led the other.These two galaxies are thought to have existed 350 & 450 million years after the big bang . Unlike our Milky Way, these first galaxies are small and compact, with spherical or disk shapes rather than grand spirals.
NASA said, as has long been theorized, that these would be the first stars ever born, made up only of primordial hydrogen and helium.
