flag Webb Telescope reveals early galaxies were chaotic, not orderly, reshaping understanding of galaxy formation.

flag Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have found that galaxies in the early universe, just 800 million to 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, were chaotic and turbulent rather than smooth, rotating disks. flag Analyzing over 250 young galaxies, researchers discovered disordered gas motions driven by intense star formation and gravitational instabilities, challenging previous theories of early orderly structures. flag The findings, part of the JADES survey, support models where galaxies evolved gradually through mergers and bursts of star formation, transitioning from messy clumps to stable systems like today’s spirals.
