Astronomers have found an ancient galaxy located 25 million light years away using the most powerful telescope to spot the system
Known as GS-9209, the galaxy formed around 600 to 800 million years after the Big Bang. Researchers say the massive and densely packed galaxy is the earliest of its kind to date.
Scientists led by experts from the University of Edinburgh used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to reveal the properties of GS-9209 for the first time. Researchers say it was a "big surprise" to find a massive black hole at the centre of the galaxy.
