This Early Galaxy Grew Inside Out And Upends What We Know About Star Formation

In a newly discovered ancient galaxy, star formation occurs at the edges while the core contains older stars, reversing common perceptions of galaxy structure.

JWST finds distant galaxy with "impossible" light signature

JWST's findings challenge previous astronomical theories about early galaxy formation and light propagation.
The discovery of the bright Lyman-α line from JADES-GS-z13-1-LA raises questions about light-blocking atoms' behavior in the early Universe.

James Webb Just Observed the Universe's Youngest Galaxies Being Born

The James Webb Space Telescope captured images of some of the youngest galaxies ever seen, just 400-600 million years after the Big Bang.

JWST's Puzzling Early Galaxies Don't Break Cosmology--But They Do Bend Astrophysics

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has observed bright galaxies that stretch back to the early universe, which is puzzling because galaxies shouldn't have had enough time to become so massive.
Studies suggest that the unexpected girth of these early galaxies could be attributed to astrophysical explanations like earlier-forming black holes or bursts of star formation, rather than a flaw in our understanding of cosmology.
