JWST finds SMOOTH DISC galaxies EARLIER in the Universe than we thought
AD | Join me in reading Nautilus by heading to http://joinnautilus.com/drbecky where you can get 15% off a membership to Nautilus, perfect for any science enthusiast. | The James Webb Space Telescope, JWST, has been surprising us with new results about the early Universe that we can’t yet explain for the past few years now; from the little red dot galaxies, to the over massive galaxies, and finding galaxies with features like spiral arms earlier in the Universe than we ever thought they should exist. And this month was no exception, when a paper was published by Smethurst and collaborators on the Galaxy Zoo and CEERS teams claiming to have found featureless disc shaped galaxies way earlier in the Universe’s history than we ever thought possible. That’s right, we’re talking about my own research in this week’s video, and I’m so excited that it’s finally been published so that we can chat all about it…
