Rekordfjern galakse bekræftet med rumteleskopet James Webb
Efter et halvt år med hyppige nye kandidater for den fjerneste galakse, vi nogensinde har set, er det endelig lykkedes astronomer at opnå det afgørende bevis: Et spektrum, som gør det muligt for forskerne at måle den nøjagtige bølgelængde af det lys, galakserne udsendte i fortiden. Fire galakser er blevet bekræftet, og den fjerneste ses helt tilbage til blot 320 millioner år efter Big Bang.
