NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has spotted four of the most ancient galaxies that have been known to date. Researchers say these galaxies formed when the universe was less than 350 million years old and the light from these galaxies has been reaching Earth for more than 13 billion years. These findings, thereby, are cruicial in understanding the first generation of galaxies.
