   JWST has very likely seen the most distant galaxy ever found, and I'm still kinda boggling about it. It's too big, too massive, and too bright to exist according to our current understanding of how the Universe works.

   We need a better understanding!

     @badastro I like to think these astoundingly large/old/bright objects we keep turning up are not just because our best cosmological model is off but that that they are the result of technology developed by vastly more advanced civilizations than ours.
