Galaxies die earlier than expected: Webb sees signs of halted star formation 700 million years after Big Bang

An international team led by UNIGE shows that red and dead galaxies can be found only 700 million years after the Big Bang, indicating that galaxies stop forming stars earlier than predicted by models.
