 Astronomers use the exact same logic as optical dropouts, but scaled up to JWST's infrared filters:
-**Finding a $z \approx 10$ Galaxy:** The Lyman break is shifted to about $1.0 \mu m$. The galaxy will be completely invisible in the F090W filter, but will suddenly appear in the F115W filter and beyond. This is an **F090W-dropout**.\\

-* **Finding a $z \approx 13$ Galaxy:** The break shifts to roughly $1.27 \mu m$. The galaxy now drops out of both the F090W and F115W filters, but lights up in the F150W filter. This is an **F115W-dropout**.

 ===== Record-Breaking Discoveries: The JADES Survey =====
 This specific technique has allowed JWST to shatter distance records almost immediately after it began operations.

 * Its Lyman-break is pushed so far into the infrared that it doesn't even begin to appear until JWST's F150W and F200W filters!
-By combining the simple but brilliant physics of the Lyman-break with the sheer infrared power of JWST, astronomers are finally able to map the very edge of the observable universe.
