Webb captures a floating pool of galaxies. They have odd shapes not seen before

India Today  

Researchers analysing data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have revealed that the majority of galaxies in the early universe were not the familiar round or disk-like shapes we see today. The study, led by Viraj Pandya, a Nasa Hubble Fellow at Columbia University, found that an estimated 50 to 80 percent of the observed galaxies from when the universe was between 600 million to 6 billion years old were flat and stretched out in two dimensions. Kartheik Iyer, another co-author and NASA Hubble Fellow at Columbia University, emphasizes the importance of identifying these early galaxy categories, as it opens up new avenues for understanding how galaxies form and evolve. Hubble's deep field surveys have provided a wealth of information on the earliest galaxies, and now JWST is expanding on this knowledge by capturing even more distant galaxies in unprecedented detail.
