Webb Sees Early Galaxies Merge; Tiny T. Rex Shared Cretaceous Earth

Here's a news article synthesizing the provided source material:

Webb Telescope Reveals Ancient Galaxy Merger; Sardines Become Gen Z Obsession; Paleontology Updates Released

A rare, tightly packed collision of five galaxies, dating back to just 800 million years after the Big Bang, was discovered by astronomers at Texas A&M University using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), according to a Phys.org report published January 30, 2026. Simultaneously, sardines are experiencing a surge in popularity among Gen Z, and corrections were issued for two Nature articles concerning paleontology.

The galaxy merger, dubbed "JWSTs Quintet (JQ)," was observed at a redshift of 6.71. The five emission line galaxies are labeled ELG1-ELG5 in images released by the researchers. According to the Phys.org article, the research was published in Nature Astronomy.

In other news, sardines are having a "cultural moment," according to a Vox article published January 30, 2026. Writer Kyndall Cunningham noted the trend, comparing it to millennials' earlier obsession with bacon. The article suggests sardines are becoming popular due to their affordability and perceived health benefits. "If it feels like your algorithm is being hijacked by tiny, silver fish, youre not just seeing things; sardines are experiencing a cultural moment right now," Cunningham wrote.

Meanwhile, Nature issued publisher corrections for two paleontology articles. The first correction, published September 17, 2025, concerned an article titled "A domed pachycephalosaur from the early Cretaceous of Mongolia." The correction amended the copyright line to reflect the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and the Authors, under exclusive license to Springer Nature Limited. Authors listed include Tsogtbaatar Chinzorig, Lindsay E. Zanno, Batsaikhan Buyantegsh, Buuvei Mainbayar and Khishigjav Tsogtb.

The second correction, published October 30, 2025, addressed the article "Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus coexisted at the close of the Cretaceous." The copyright line was similarly updated to include the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources and James Napoli, under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited. Lindsay E. Zanno and James G. Napoli are listed as contributing equally to the article.

In other news, according to Hacker News, Pangolin is seeking engineers to develop their identity-aware remote access platform, and Track Your Routine (TYR) is developing a Flutter application for secure task management.
