Reply to comment by bimundial in James Webb Telescope captures the same galaxy at three different points in time in a single mind-boggling image by mirzavadoodulbaig

So, things got more distant from each other at a rate that was faster than the speed of light?

The expansion of space does not have the speed limit that traveling through space has.

Yep. That's because the things weren't getting distant inside space-time, but space-time itself was expanding between things. Relativity only puts a cap on the speed things move inside time-space, not the rate that time-space itself grows
