‘Beyond what’s possible’: new JWST observations unearth mysterious ancient galaxies
February 15, 2024This early galaxy has too many stars for the amount of dark matter around at the time, finds new research published today in Nature. The study, led by Swinburne University, relied on dark matter modelling from ICRAR's A/Prof Claudia Lagos.
