The light from these galaxies has taken more than 13.4 billion years to reach us implying they existed 400 million years after the big bang, when the #universe was only 2% of its current age.
These galaxies are extremely faint because of their great distance from us. Astronomers can now explore their properties, thanks to JWST's exquisite sensitivity.
