The researchers still need more data to confirm that these galaxies are as large, and date as far back in time, as they appear. Their preliminary observations, however, offer a tantalizing taste of how James Webb could rewrite astronomy textbooks.
“Another possibility is that these things are a different kind of weird object, such as faint quasars, which would be just as interesting,” she said.
Well, it'll sure be interesting either way. I'm happy this telescope has been so successful. I hope we'll get some information on the TRAPPIST system soon.
Welcome to /o/STEM! This circle is dedicated to science, technology, engineering, maths, and medicine, where you can discuss all things STEM, seek career advice, share learning resources, and pose “ask an expert” questions to the Ovarit STEM community.
Please provide a descriptive title for your posts and add a flair that best describes your post topic. We encourage posters to add links to relevant articles or research papers in their posts and comments.
Since our focus is on STEM, posts should not be focused on politics, ethics, or philosophy. Any discussion on popular science or medicine (to include COVID-19) must be based on scientific principles and research.
This is also not the place to discuss diet, lifestyle, alternative medicine, or psychology. For these topics please check out o/women which is a general discussion circle and o/womenshealthlounge which is a support sub for health issues.

Yes, I look forward to more information on the TRAPPIST system, too. At least seven planets with sizes and masses similar to those of Earth.
