The universe may have 10 to 100 fewer galaxies than thought, according to a study.

Simulations have showed that so-called faint galaxies, predicted to be abundant in the distant universe, are actually much less prevalent.

And future telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope could be used to confirm whether the simulations are correct.
The findings were made by scientists at Michigan State University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of California, San Diego.

Specifically, they were looking at some of the most distant galaxies in the universe, which telescopes like the Hubble Space Telescope struggle to see.
