Rochester Institute of Technology scientists have once again used data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of the Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science (CEERS) Survey to change the way we think about the universe and its distant galaxies. Jeyhan Kartaltepe , associate professor in the School of Physics and Astronomy , and Rebecca Larson , postdoctoral research associate, co-authored a paper, "Confirmation and refutation of very luminous galaxies in the early Universe," published in Nature confirming very bright galaxies in the early universe, while also disproving the identification of what would have been the most distant galaxy ever found.
