Webb Telescope snaps 45000 galaxies in ONE frame; universe seen like never before

[ad_1] The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made significant contributions to our understanding of how galaxies and stars came into existence. NASA recently shared an infrared image captured by Webb as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) program, shedding more light on the vast expanse of the universe.This particular image focuses on a region of the sky known as GOODS-Sout. Amazingly this one photo packs over 45,000 galaxies, as reported by NASA. Researchers from the University of Texas at Austin conducted a study of galaxies that emerged 500 to 850 million years after the Big Bang, also referred to as the Epoch of Reionisation. During this epoch, the universe was shrouded in a gaseous fog that rendered it opaque. Approximately one billion years after the Bi...
