Webb Detects Lyman-Apha Emission from Galaxy in Early Universe

The Lyman-apha light from JADES-GS-z13-1 has taken nearly 13.47 billion years to reach us, as it dates back to just 330 million years after the Big Bang.

This image shows JADES-GS-z13-1 (the red dot at center), imaged with Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) as part of the JADES program.
