James Webb telescope finds two of the oldest and most distant galaxies ever seen

Nasa says space telescope is finding previously hidden early galaxies, including one that may have formed 350m years after the big bang

Nasa's James Webb space telescope is finding bright, early galaxies that until now have been hidden from view, including one that may have formed just 350m years after the big bang.

Astronomers said Thursday that if the results were verified, this newly discovered throng of stars would beat the most distant galaxy identified by the Hubble space telescope - a record-holder that formed 400m years after the universe began.
