Early Galaxies' Brightness Explained by Black Holes, Not Cosmological Crisis

New research using the James Webb Space Telescope clarifies that early galaxies appeared brighter due to black holes, preserving the standard cosmological model.

The James Webb Space Telescope's observations of early galaxies initially suggested a challenge to the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model.
Researchers found that black holes in these galaxies made them appear larger and brighter than they actually were.
This discovery supports the existing cosmological model, alleviating concerns of a potential crisis in our understanding of the universe.
Despite resolving the brightness issue, the number of early galaxies observed is still higher than predicted.
Further studies are needed to understand rapid star formation in the early universe.
