Part 3/14:
Adding to the intrigue, Webb detected nine mysterious light sources at the very edge of the observable universe, with some exhibiting red shifts of 17 and 25. These values correspond to a time just 100 to 200 million years after the Big Bang, an era known as the "cosmic dark ages" when the universe was thought to be a hot, featureless plasma with no stars or galaxies. Yet, the telescope showed bright sources blazing across this ancient sky, defying the expectation that nothing should be visible at such an early epoch.
