James Webb Space Telescope Discovers Second and Fourth Most Distant Galaxies

Newly Discovered Galaxies Challenge Understanding of Early Universe and Support Big Bang Theory

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has discovered the second and fourth most distant galaxies ever seen, located in Pandora’s Cluster, about 3.5 billion light years away from us.
The two galaxies, designated UNCOVER-z13 and UNCOVER-z12, have a redshift of 13.079 and 12.393 respectively, indicating their extreme distance.
Unlike other galaxies at similar distances, these galaxies are larger and have structure, appearing elongated and fluffy, challenging our understanding of early galaxy formation.
The light from these galaxies is ancient, about three times older than the Earth, providing a window into the early universe and the formation of the first galaxies.
The galaxies are young, have a low abundance of heavy elements and are actively forming stars, supporting the Big Bang theory.
