JWST’s early, massive galaxies agree with ΛCDM cosmology

Since JWST’s launch, astronomers have used it to investigate the young Universe. <img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:630/1*QHRKOHGkDPmJJvXOVkl9SQ.jpeg" style="height:382px; width:700px" /> The Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science Survey (CEERS Survey) broke the record for largest deep-field image taken by JWST, previously held by the first lensing cluster image released. This small patch of sky, near the handle of the Big Dipper, contains some ~200 luminous disk galaxy candidates found within the first ~3 billion years of the Universe’s history. The deepest views of the early Universe have given astronomers and astrophysicists much to ponder. (<a href="https://ceers.github.io/ceers-first-images-release" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Credit</a>: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; CEERS collaboration) <a href="https://medium.com/starts-with-a-bang/jwsts-early-massive-galaxies-agree-with-%CE%BBcdm-cosmology-7bc3e49415b8">Website</a>
