James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers the Chaotic Beginnings of Galaxies

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is revolutionizing our understanding of galaxy formation, revealing a chaotic and rapid early evolution, contrary to previous theories. Observing nearly 1,700 galaxy groups over 12 billion years, early galaxies were found to be small, irregular, and rich in gas and dust, triggering intense star formation. They grew through mergers and collisions into the spiral and elliptical shapes we see today, influenced by dark matter and supermassive black holes.
