This redshift `\\`impasse\" is underscored by the measured stellar ages of these high-z galaxies, which we show converge to zero by z=15, with a marked absence of earlier star-formation. Taken literally, such a late transition from the Dark…","published":"2026-09-29T04:00:00Z","seen":"2026-09-29T07:46:41Z","lang":"en","source":{"id":"arxiv-astro-ph","name":"arXiv astro-ph (astrophysics)","domain":"arxiv.org","outlet":{"wikidata":"Q118398","name":"arXiv","type":"website","country":"US","designations":["bibliographic database","disciplinary repository","online database","open science tool","preprint server","website"]}},"via":"arxiv-astro-ph","topics":["space","astrophysics","astro-ph.co","astro-ph.ga"],"authors":["Jiashuo Zhang, Tom Broadhurst, Tzihong Chiueh, Hsi-Yu Schive, Keiichi Umetsu…"],"entities":[{"id":"Q186447","name":"James Webb Space Telescope","type":"org"}],"story":"st_o2obbatxaqhm542ynnza","category":"science-technology","category_p":0.6499999761581421,"sentiment":"neutral","tone":-0.019999999552965164,"political":0.03999999910593033}]}
