NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been used to help scientists solve a mystery about the early universe. It involves the Era of Reionization, when the universe underwent dramatic changes. CAI's John Basile talks with Dr. Regina Jorgenson of the Maria Mitchell Observatory on Nantucket about this new development.

John Basile is the local host of All Things Considered weekday afternoons and a reporter.
