Thirteen billion years ago, before the universe had completed its first billion years, the seeds of galaxies were quietly assembling themselves in the dark — and until now, no human instrument could see them. The James Webb Space Telescope, working in concert with the gravitational mass of a distant galaxy cluster acting as a natural lens, has brought those seeds into focus for the first time: dense clumps of young stars, proto-galactic embryos caught in the act of becoming. This is not merely a technological achievement — it is a reckoning with origins, a moment in which humanity looks back f
