The latest images from the James Webb Telescope reveal new secrets about the origins of the universe
has returned an eye-popping image of that small region—revealing new secrets about the origins of the universe.
“A galaxy during cosmic noon wouldn’t have one NGC 346 like the Small Magellanic Cloud does; it would have thousands,” said Margaret Meixner, a principal investigator in the study that produced the new image,. “But even if NGC 346 is now the one and only massive cluster furiously forming stars in its galaxy, it offers us a great opportunity to probe conditions that were in place at cosmic noon.”
“Since the Small Magellanic Cloud has a similar environment to galaxies during cosmic noon,” said astronomer Guido de Marchi, a co-investigator for the study, in the NASA statement, “it’s possible that rocky planets could have formed earlier in the universe than we have thought.”
