The galaxy JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097 is unique, forming from the inside out rather than following the traditional model of star formation in galaxies. This finding challenges existing theories.
Webb's observations allow astronomers to confirm theoretical predictions about galaxy formation, noting that the ability to observe these phenomena is a 'transformational' aspect of the telescope.
This galaxy, forming swiftly just 700 million years after the Big Bang, showcases a dense core with rapidly-developing stellar suburbs, distinguishing it from typical galaxies.
Cambridge researchers highlight that the traditional model sees galaxies starting with gas clouds collapsing to form cores, contrasting with the inside-out formation of JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097.
