Surprising New Discoveries Made by James Webb with Dr. Allison Kirkpatrick
About this episode
Unexpected James Webb Discoveries including Multiple Oldest Galaxy Candidates and galaxies that do not fit predicted models and may contradict when our universe began.Scientists with the CEERS Collaboration have identified an object—dubbed Maisie’s galaxy in honor of project head Steven Finkelstein’s daughter—that may be one of the earliest galaxies ever observed. If its estimated redshift of 14 is confirmed with future observations, that would mean we’re seeing it as it was just 290 million years after the Big Bang.https://cns.utexas.edu/news/race-to-find-earliest-galaxy-heats-up
