A possible galaxy named Capotauro may have formed within 90
million years of the big bang – but astronomers can’t be sure that’s what it is.
Would this be the first galaxy, evolutionists keep on asking.
In their view, it appeared sometime after the big bang some 13.8 million years
ago.
Astronomers might have discovered a galaxy that formed
extremely early in the universe, nearly 200 million years before its closest
competitor, but they caution there could be other explanations too.

Gandolfi at the University of Padua in Italy and his colleagues probed
data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to look for distant objects
that formed early in our universe’s 13.8-billion-year history.
The further away a galaxy is from Earth, the longer its
light will have taken to reach us and the more it will be shifted to the red
end of the spectrum by the expansion of space, a property known as redshift.
