JWST has very likely seen the most distant galaxy ever found, and I'm still kinda boggling about it. It's too big, too massive, and too bright to exist according to our current understanding of how the Universe works.

We need a better understanding!

Lieu: "Trump's campaign manager: felon. Trump's deputy campaign manger: felon. Trump's foreign policy adviser: felon. Trump's lawyer: felon. Trump's political adviser: felon. Trump's fundraiser: felon. It is not the fault of the DOJ that Trump surrounded himself with criminals."

"ProPublica has once again, and heroically, lifted the rock and revealed the worms wiggling beneath it. The Trump Campaign is so mad about the report that they have already threatened to sue. Now it’s up to our elected officials to launch further investigations and our federal and state authorities to bring witness tampering charges if the evidence, even if largely circumstantial, ultimately supports them."

No, new measurements can’t relax the Hubble tension

Many have claimed that new distance ladder measurements ease, relax, or even eliminate the Hubble tension.
