Astronomers find an ancient galaxy with an unusual light signature in the early universe.

The James Webb Space Telescope has been able to observe some of the oldest, faintest light in existence.

Scientists think the galaxy is undergoing intense star formation within a cocoon of dense gas.

A barrage of light particles from the starlight could be bombarding the gas, causing it to shine extremely bright.
