Popis: We report the discovery of four galaxy candidates observed 450–600 Myr after the Big Bang with photometric redshifts between z ∼ 8.3 and 10.2 measured using James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRCam imaging of the galaxy cluster WHL0137−08 observed in eight filters spanning 0.8–5.0 μ m, plus nine Hubble Space Telescope filters spanning 0.4–1.7 μ m. One candidate is gravitationally lensed with a magnification of μ ∼ 8, while the other three are located in a nearby NIRCam module with expected magnifications of μ ≲ 1.1. Using SED fitting, we estimate the stellar masses of these galaxies are typically in the range $\mathrm{log}{M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot }$ = 8.3–8.7. All appear young, with mass-weighted ages
