This is shaping up to be a giant cluster…of galaxies.
These 7 spotlighted galaxies form a protocluster so far away, its light took ~13 billion years to reach us. Webb scientists predict it may grow into one of the largest, densest galaxy clusters known: https://go.nasa.gov/3V5UEnZ

Webb Reveals Early-Universe Prequel to Huge Galaxy Cluster
NASAs James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed, for the first time, a protocluster of seven galaxies at a distance that astronomers refer to as redshift 7.9, or a mere 650 million years after the big bang.Isabelle Yan (NASA)
