Astronomers thought that galaxies within the early universe would principally be shapeless blobs, however an evaluation of knowledge from the James Webb Area Telescope suggests round half are disc-shaped just like the Milky Approach

Astronomers analysing a number of the first scientific information launched by the James Webb Area Telescope (JWST) have already seen one thing they weren’t anticipating. A deep view of the early universe seems to point out a surprisingly excessive variety of disc-shaped galaxies, quite than numerous clumpy, irregular ones. This means that the disc constructions in sure galaxies, together with the Milky Approach, could have shaped extra quickly than present theories predict.
