Record-breaking 'dead' galaxy discovered by JWST lived fast and died young in the early universe

TL;DR


Summary:
- The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a remarkably massive and dead galaxy that existed in the early universe, just 500 million years after the Big Bang.
- This galaxy, known as GLASS-z13, is the most distant and earliest known massive galaxy to date, providing insights into the formation and evolution of galaxies in the early universe.
- GLASS-z13 is believed to have formed stars at an extremely rapid rate, using up its gas and dust supplies quickly, leading to its early death and becoming a "red and dead" galaxy much sooner than expected.
