Astronomers Confirm Redshift of Distant Galaxy seen by JWST

(After re-reading through @Dan_Eastwood prediction in the thread I linked, I suppose they’re just suggesting “hyper evolution” for galaxy formation.)

Does your tagging me here indicate that you have accepted my offered wager? Quoting for reference …

@Dan_Eastwood

“All these” meaning all JWST newly observed early universe galaxies as determined by red-shift, not closer, more recent “foreground” galaxies.I predict that nearly all the stars in these galaxies will be first generation stars with very low metal content. There will be a small amount of metals detected as a product of blue giant supernovae - Blue giants have a very short lifetime, millions of years rather than billions. Younger stars like our sun contain metals from these early supernovae.

If you insist, I suggest a wager of a Starbucks or Amazon gift card of no more than $20 value.

The loose definition of “All these” gives you a fair chance of winning, since one high-metal star could win the bet for you. However, it may be un-resolvable, since even JWST probably can’t pick out small but high-metal stars like our Sol at that distance. Note that Oxygen isn’t a metal.

I haven’t read this article yet, and I have no idea what is has to say about metal content. I will hold to my offer if you still want to take me upon it?
