Here are some nice videos from the European Space Agency and James Webb.
Saw a article about some follow up examination of a galaxy that was growing too fast- that was based on the assumption that the star make up of that very young galaxy is the same as the "current" Milky Way.
So it appears that a galaxy that is 500M years old isn't the same make up as one that is 13B. Which makes a lot of sense that there hasn't been enough time for any stars to blow up, making all the heavy elements that makes up all of us. So lots of young massive stars.

Most distant star imaged.
Because of Earendel's distance from Earth, it took 12.9 billion years for its light to reach us, scientists said. The universe was less than a billion years old when the light was emitted. The star is now 28 billion lightyears away.
Most distant star ever recorded is a million times brighter than the sun
