Using JWST, spectral features have been detected in the near-infrared emission of distant galaxies. The observations address a long-standing controversy about the contribution of thermally pulsing asymptotic-giant-branch stars to galaxy emission, with implications for the calculation of galaxy ages and stellar masses, and for models of stellar population synthesis.
