Webb space telescope finds a giant galaxy that doesn’t spin
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have spotted something that shouldn’t exist—at least not so early in the universe. A massive galaxy, formed less than 2 billion years after the Big Bang, appears to have no rotation at all, a trait usually seen only in much older, evolved galaxies. This challenges current theories that young galaxies should still be spinning from their formation.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) discovered a galaxy that existed about twelve billion years ago when the universe was not yet two billion years old. Unlike most known galaxies, however, it does not rotate around its axis. (Continue reading)
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered an extraordinary galaxy from the early universe. The object, which, according to theory, should be rotating, exhibits no rotation at all. This discovery could change scientists' understanding of how early galaxies formed. The article "Extraordinary Discovery by the Webb Telescope: Galaxy from the Early Universe Doesn't Rotate" is from the website Everything That Matters.
