 James Webb Space Telescope Discovers "Inside-Out" Galaxy Near Dawn of Time
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted an unusual galaxy that existed just 700 million years after the Big Bang. Dubbed JADES-GS+53.18343−27.79097, this galaxy is roughly 100 times smaller than the Milky Way and defies conventional growth patterns by forming stars more rapidly on its outskirts than its dense core. The discovery confirms theoretical models predicting that galaxies in the early universe should have formed inside-out.
