The James Webb Space Telescope recently made its debut with the ?Deep Field? image, but as we are absorbed by the beautiful colors of near-infinity, scientists have used the data behind the shot to identify a very old and fascinating object in space.

Named the ?Sparkler,? it?s a ?globular cluster? nine billion light years away. The light as it?s reaching us is as it was just 4.5 billion years after the Big Bang, meaning just after it became possible for stars to form.

JWST?s high-resolution snapshot contains thousands of galaxies and dense groups of millions of stars, but for co-lead author Dr. Kartheik Iyer, the most interesting were ancient collections of stars from a galaxy?s infancy that can contain clues about its earliest phases of formation and growth.
