First Science Snippets: Assembly of Galaxies (1)

How is Webb helping us understand how galaxies—massive collections of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity—form and change over time? Jeyhan Kartaltepe from the Rochester Institute of Technology, Tiger Hsiao from Johns Hopkins University, and Mason Leist from the University of Texas at San Antonio share their excitement from Session 3 of the First Science Results from JWST conference, held December 12-14, 2022, at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. 

Watch the talks in Session 3, Assembly of Galaxies (1). (Note that because of embargo restrictions, not all conference talks were recorded.)
