🛎️ It's quiz time! Webb recently affirmed Hubble’s measurement of an important astronomical constant. pic.twitter.com/wq6Mn6likM

Webb has pinpointed three galaxies actively forming when our 13.8 billion-years-old universe was in its infancy. The galaxies are surrounded by gas suspected to be almost purely hydrogen & helium, the earliest elements to exist. More on this breakthrough: go.nasa.gov/4aCRiPs pic.twitter.com/SzzVyni8z8

I hear this question a lot: Why can Hubble (or JWST) see galaxies at the edge of the universe but can't see footprints on the Moon? The answer tells you a lot about galaxies, angles, and proportions! www.quora.com/Why-is-it-that-the-James-Webb-telescope-can-show-the-end-of-the-universe-but-can-show-us-a-footprint-on-the-moon/answer/Corey-S-Powell pic.twitter.com/znT39CeEX5

#NASAWebb recently uncovered a trio of galaxies that were actively forming when the universe was only 400 to 600 million years old. Large parts of the galaxies are covered in gas, which will go on to cool, clump, and form new stars: webbtelescope.pub/4bb5K2l pic.twitter.com/LG5qJnPxBN
