NASA’s Webb telescope is rewriting the story of space and time

I watched the spark of cosmic dawn, through 3D glasses. Sitting in front of a projector at the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology at Stanford University, I marveled at filaments of dark matter, a ghostly gray on the screen, branching between halos as the universe stretched. Maelstroms of newly born stars spiraled to the centers of the halos to form the first galaxies.
