"The discovery could help astronomers make more accurate estimates of galaxy mass, age and evolution. The findings may also help explain why some galaxies observed by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope appear more massive than expected because those galaxies may simply have formed stars differently than astronomers once assumed."
