Abstract
This paper reports the observation of gravitationally bound star clusters in a lensed galaxy, approximately 460 million years after the Big Bang. These clusters exhibit significantly higher stellar densities and smaller sizes than typical young star clusters in the local universe and globular clusters in the Milky Way. Their properties suggest they are proto-globular clusters, and their formation and evolution are discussed in the context of early universe galaxy formation and reionization.
