Firefly Sparkle: Newly discovered galaxy mirrors Milky Way's early days
For the first time, the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has detected and "weighed" a galaxy that not only existed about 600 million years after the Big Bang, but also has a mass that is similar to what our Milky Way galaxy's mass might have been at the same stage of development.

The young galaxy is only 6,500 light years from its first companion and 42,000 light years from its second. In comparison, the fully formed Milky Way is 100,000 light years across and could easily fit Firefly Sparkle and its companion galaxies inside it.
