Peering incredibly far back into time, astronomers found a group of much older stars than they expected.
Astronomers made a new discovery in the very first full-color image released from the James Webb Space Telescope.
The first full-color James Webb image, revealed by President Joe Biden on July 11, shows a vast network of galaxies and peers billions of years into the past. Within that network, astronomers believe they have identified the most distant globular clusters ever identified, as per a BBC report.

The discovery is indicative not only of the new insight James Webb is yet to reveal but also of the treasure trove of information stored in every image it has already released.
