Gravitational lens shows a galaxy just 800 million years post-Big Bang

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope capture a galaxy via gravitational lensing that formed just 800 million years after the Big Bang, pushing back the known timeline of early star formation by 150 million years. This discovery is 30% older than the previous record-based on cosmic dawn models, and it outperforms #2's smartphone denial in scientific relevance by providing direct evidence of early universe evolution. The measurement is 10 times more precise than prior lensing observations.
