Researchers discovered these galaxies, which are in their awkward 'teenage' era, are filled with a 'flabbergasting' amount of nickel.

A sample of galaxies dating to the first 2 to 3 billion years of the universe contain much heavier elements, and appear to be far hotter, than scientists expected.

Since becoming operational last year, the James Webb Space Telescope has made groundbreaking observations involving some of the universe's earliest galaxies. One might call them galactic infants.

The James Webb Space Telescope took one of the most detailed images of "teenage galaxies," helping scientists understand how galaxies form and evolve.

Significant amounts of nickel observed in galaxies only two-to-three billion years after the Big Bang.

Two studies dive deeper into the mechanics of galaxy evolution and how the Milky Way got its spiral arm

Since becoming operational last year, the James Webb Space Telescope has made groundbreaking observations involving some of the universe's earliest galaxies. But Webb has obtained even better data on galaxies a bit further along in development. The researchers focused upon galaxies that formed about 2-3 billion years after the Big Bang event roughly 13.8 billion years ago that initiated the universe.

Significant amounts of nickel observed in galaxies only two-to-three billion years after the Big Bang.

<p>Galaxies that formed just 2 to 3 billion years after the Big Bang are unusually hot and glow with light from surprising elements, like nickel, according to new work led by Carnegie’s Gwen Rudie and Northwestern University’s Allison Strom. Studying “teenage galaxies” from the ancient universe can teach scientists about how these massive systems of stars mature and evolve.</p>
