Astronomers Observe the Most Chemically Primitive Galaxy in the Early Universe
An international team led by Associate Professor Kimihiko Nakajima of Kanazawa University has captured a rare look at the early universe. Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the power of gravitational lensing, the team achieved a definitive characterization of LAP1-B, an ultra-faint galaxy from 13 billion years ago.
Astronomers from an international team have identified the galaxy LAP1-B, considered the most chemically primitive ever observed, existing only 800 million years after the Big Bang. The discovery was made with the aid of the James Webb Space Telescope, which allowed for a detailed analysis of the galaxy's chemical composition. Discovery of the galaxy LAP1-B: LAP1-B was identified using the gravitational lensing technique, which amplified its lig…
