The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered hundreds of galaxies that existed when the universe was less than 600 million years old.

This infrared image taken by the Webb Space Telescope comprises more than 45,000 galaxies, many of which existed in the first billion years of the

Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question.

The JADES program used 770 hours of JWST observing time on the earliest galaxies and found the most distant galaxy yet, among other surprises.

Among the most fundamental questions in astronomy is: How did the first stars and galaxies form? NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is already providing new insights into this question. One of the largest programs in Webb's first year of science is the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, or JADES, which will devote about 32 days of telescope time to uncover and characterize faint, distant galaxies. While the data is still coming in, JADES already has discovered hundreds of galaxies that existed when the universe was less than 600 million years old. The team also has identified galaxies spa...
