quick facts What it is: Saguaro, a lower-redshift spiral galaxy Where it is: About 10 billion light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major When it was shared: July 29, 2026. Ever since NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) began science operations in 2022, something has been bothering astronomers. These odd-looking " little red dots " (LRDs) left astronomers wondering whether they were witnessing an entirely new type of galaxy or something even stranger . But now, fresh observations from JWST, combined with data from the Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, suggest that LRDs may not have disappeared at all. The researchers chose the Saguaro because, unlike the incredibly distant LRDs, it's close enough for the space telescope to spot the galaxy's spiral arms and brilliant central core.
