With stunning clarity, JWST has revealed the Universe's first billion years. The scientific community is analyzing a wealth of JWST imaging and spectroscopic data from that era, and is in the process of rewriting the astronomy textbooks. Here, 1.5 years into the JWST science mission, we provide a snapshot of the great progress made towards understanding the initial chapters of our cosmic history. We highlight discoveries and breakthroughs, topics and issues that are not yet understood, and questions that will be addressed in the coming years, as JWST continues its revolutionary observations of the Early Universe. While this compendium is written by a small number of authors, invited to ISSI Bern in March 2024 as part of the 2024 ISSI Breakthrough Workshop, we acknowledge the work of a large community that is advancing our collective understanding of the evolution of the Early Universe.

  1. Diverse Histories and Common Origins of Nitrogen-enhanced JWST Galaxies

    astro-ph.GA 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    76 N/O-enhanced galaxies at 4<z<8.5 are observed shortly after starbursts, either in the WR enrichment phase within 10 Myr or the AGB phase after 30-40 Myr following outflows.

  2. Revisiting the distance and the globular cluster system of the remarkable galaxy UDG1 in the NGC 5846 group

    astro-ph.GA 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    New SBF distance confirms NGC5846_UDG1 lies in the NGC 5846 group and reconciles prior GC counts to ~50 members, supporting a massive dark matter halo.
