DISTANT GALAXIES

A RECENT DISCOVERY HAS LEFT SCIENTISTS IN A FIX

Published By Livemint | 26 Feb, 2023

NASA’s James Webb telescope has found distanced galaxies with mature red stars in a new universe

The new discovery is challenging earlier ideas of universe evolution

The galaxies found by the Webb telescope are shockingly big with old red stars

Their presence questions the common idea of galaxies in early universe being small with young stars

Previous studies of the early universe have found small, blue and baby galaxies

The discovery of these new galaxies have forced astronomers to rewrite their theories

But before that, they are verifying whether the red dots aren't something else
