James Webb Telescope Reveals Surprising Scale of Galaxies
Early results from the James Webb Space Telescope have revealed galaxies so early and massive that they challenge current cosmic models. A new study from the Cosmic Dawn Center suggests that the galaxies may be even more massive than previously thought due to an effect that has never before been studied at such early epochs. The study found that if a galaxy is regarded not as one big blob of stars, but as an entity built up of multiple clumps, the inferred stellar masses can be up to ten times larger. This highlights the importance of being able to resolve galaxies and accurately determine their properties.
