” Our analysis of Webbs galaxies was really consistent with galaxies in the Hubble Space Telescope catalog,” Pandya validated. These two galaxy types make up approximately 50 to 80% of all the remote galaxies they studied– a surprise, because these shapes are uncommon closer to home.Other galaxies Webb discovered appear round however likewise flattened, like frisbees. The James Webb Space Telescope is already helping researchers tweak their categories of distant galaxies– adding significant speed and information to analysis that has actually been underway for decades.At leading left, Webbs study reveals a category thats rare in the early universe, but typical today: Galaxies that are formed like spheres or volleyballs.At top right are flattened circular disks or frisbees, which are just somewhat more common.The galaxy shapes that control during this early period appearance flat and extended, like surfboards, shown at bottom left, or swimming pool noodles, bottom.
A recent research study analyzed far-off galaxies, exposing an occurrence of unusual flat and elongated shapes in the early universe, contrasting with nearer galaxies.
