The James Webb Space Telescope has transformed our understanding of galaxy formation, revealing unexpected phenomena that challenge previous theories.

The Milky Way's current structure is a result of historical galaxy mergers and ongoing star formation, emphasizing the complexity of cosmic evolution.

Supermassive black holes merge by overcoming the final parsec problem, possibly aided by dark matter affecting angular momentum.

Dwarf galaxies are plentiful and significantly smaller and fainter compared to the Milky Way.

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.

Discovery of 'Red Monster' galaxies challenges existing galaxy formation models and suggests early star formation was more efficient than previously believed.

The 'Question Mark Pair' of galaxies demonstrates the effects of gravitational lensing and validates Einstein's theory of general relativity.

The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a very bright galaxy just 300 million years after the Big Bang, challenging existing galaxy formation theories.

The James Webb Space Telescope has confirmed the existence of an 'inside-out' galaxy formation, previously believed to be theoretical.

The discovery of mature rotating galaxy REBELS-25 challenges existing theories on galaxy formation timelines.

The James Webb Space Telescope successfully imaged galaxies from just 250 million years after the Big Bang, revealing details about their formation and light sources.

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