Hold onto your space helmets, stargazers! 🔭 NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope just spotted a galaxy that’s rewriting cosmic history – formed a mere 300 million years after the Big Bang. That’s like finding your great-great-great-(x100) grandparent’s baby photos… for the universe! 🌠
Scientists have spent two years using Webb to study the Cosmic Dawn – the universe’s fiery 'teenage years' when galaxies first lit up the darkness. This record-breaking discovery acts like a cosmic time capsule, showing how gas, stars, and black holes partied in the early universe. 🎇
Why should you care? This isn’t just about breaking records – it’s about understanding how our cosmic neighborhood grew from a hot soup of particles to the glittering sky we see today. As one researcher put it: 'We’re basically reading the universe’s origin story… and it’s way wilder than Marvel.' 🪐
