Stockholm University astronomers, using the MIRI infrared camera on the James Webb Space Telescope, have observed the earliest galaxies in mid-infrared light for the first time. The findings provide insights into star formation over 13 billion years ago, the evolution of dusty galaxies, and the growth of supermassive black holes. The research, part of the MIRI Deep Imaging Survey of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field, makes new data and images available for global study of galaxy evolution.
