Neil deGrasse Tyson: The James Webb Space Telescope is opening up a whole new window into the early universe. With Hubble, we can see tiny little smudges that Hubble could barely resolve and you couldn't get detailed information on those. These new galaxies seem to have formed very early on after the Big Bang. And our current theories tell us there was no time to do that. But I think we need to explore a lot of other questions about how they formed.
What do the early galaxies discovered by JWST tell us about the early universe? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Matt Kirshen explore the expansion of space, dark energy, and the age of the universe with astronomer, Wendy Freedman.
