A study led by Pablo Pérez-González at the Centro de Astrobiología, (CAB), CSIC-INTA (Spain) recently discovered nine galaxies that are candidates to being the most distant galaxies known. By using a combination of images taken with the NIRCam instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) these galaxies could be picked out from more nearby objects. The light coming from these galaxies was sent out a mere 100-200 million years after Big Bang, which means that they could be some of the very first galaxies formed in the universe.
