Story summary

Researchers discovered AMORE6, a galaxy with low heavy elements, supporting the Big Bang model.
Located at redshift z = 5.725, it exhibits low metallicity and a compact structure, suggesting massive star formation in a nearly pristine environment.
This finding challenges earlier beliefs about the timing of galaxy formation after the Big Bang and reveals gaps in cosmic history understanding.
