The James Webb Space Telescope has made another incredible discovery, this time finding the faintest galaxy ever seen in the early universe. Named JD1, this galaxy is so far away that its light has taken 13.3 billion years to reach us. That means we're seeing it as it was when the universe was only a few hundred million years old, just a fraction of its current age. JD1 is a small, ultra-faint galaxy. It is so faint that it would have been invisible to previous telescopes. It has a mass of only about 10,000 times that of the Sun, and it is forming stars at a rate of about one solar mass per year. JD1 is likely one of the first galaxies to form in the universe, and it is helping us to understand how galaxies evolved over time.
