A bagel that needed a few more minutes. And maybe a fact-check.
Summary
The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the discovery of MoM-z14, an exceptionally luminous galaxy that existed just 280 million years after the Big Bang (at redshift z=14.44). This discovery challenges existing models of early galaxy formation and suggests a rising star-formation history in the early universe.
