JWST MIRI captures red, long-wavelength view of the universe’s first galaxies

Images from JWST's MIRI instrument capture the universe's earliest galaxies in long-wavelength infrared for the first time, revealing a population of red, dusty or evolved systems. A new Astronomy & Astrophysics study uses these data to refine models of galaxy formation more than 13 billion years ago.
