Over 20,000 galaxies glimmer in this sweeping view of the sky between the constellations of Pisces and Andromeda. But more than just an arresting sight, the view has helped astronomers determine what sparked the Epoch of Reionization, the period when the opaque universe gave way to the transparent one.First Full-Color Images From Webb Space TelescopeThe earliest days of the universe were cloaked in a dense gas that limited the amount light could travel through it. During the Epoch of Reionization—when the universe was…

This infrared image taken by the Webb Space Telescope comprises more than 45,000 galaxies, many of which existed in the first billion years of the universe.First Full-Color Images From Webb Space TelescopeThe image captures the GOODS-S field, a region of space in the direction of the constellation Fornax. It was taken as part of the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES), a program that takes deep field imagery of the cosmos to decipher how the universe as we know it came about.In the GOODS-S field—which was…
