NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered the oldest star clusters ever seen.
Astronomers have spotted the first stunning images of the most distant globular clusters ever discovered, found in a 9-billion-year-old galaxy. According to scientists, star clusters may include clumps of millions of the first and oldest stars in the universe.
The results come from scientific analysis of James Webb’s first image, Webb’s First Deep Field. This image, containing thousands of shimmering galaxies, became famous as the first image released from the new telescope.
