The James Webb Space Telescope has potentially smashed one of its own records again —- if scientists are correct, this trailblazing spacecraft may have glimpsed the earliest galaxies in the universe.
The five galaxy candidates are located so far away that the furthest is seen as it was just 200 million years after the Big Bang. Thus, the light from these galaxies has been traveling to Earth for around 13.6 billion years. Because of the expansion of the universe, these galaxies should now lie a staggering 34 billion light-years away. However, to be clear, none of this is yet confirmed.
