Delighted that the first paper from our Cy2 JWST program was published today, reporting the discovery of molecular hydrogen in the 3% Solar metallicity galaxy Leo P. This was a very fun project with @karinsandstrom.bsky.social strom.bsky.social and fabulous co-authors! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It brightened my day to come across this image from our JWST Cycle 1 program targeting my favorite galaxy, Leo P, in my feed! Check out the new measurement of its ancient star formation history from this data, led by the incomparable Kristy McQuinn: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024ApJ....

Oh come ON now. This new JWST image is just ASTOUNDING.

I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.
